#3rd Custom GR-1SF ‘Annylonation’.

That’s a bit fatalistic.

Well, behold! The headstock doesn’t look extra large to me, that’s going to give me something to think about. It’s a little rough on a quick inspection. Dark glue marks on the (anatomical) right side? Work to do.

Take a sharp Router bit and run straight line across your edges to the top of the Headstock. Graft some additional maple strips to either side and make them longer than the existing or as long as you need to work your new design.
Fill between the ends of the grafts with another maple fillet to suit what you need. Use dowels to provide extra strength between the grafted on bits and the base head stock.
If you make them all slightly thicker then you can sand or plane them back to the existing HS with little to no gap (depending on how you fit was to start with). Take that back slightly and you can add a HS Veneer to go along with your decorative bits.

That's what Igor is telling me anyway.....

I’m not sure where I am going to get maple from. Perhaps I take my neck for a ride down to this ‘Timber Bloke’ bloke. Otherwise I was considering getting some pine to make up the back of the headstock. So...are you suggesting drill a hole or two from the face of the headstock all the way through to the back and fill the holes with dowels? That sounds like a good idea. I was only planning on using Titebond.

Thanks Dougr, day two and the operation is still under wraps.
