Ha! I know that feeling!
Sadly no progress to report as I had to finish the production of our latest album and get it out before Christmas, there's at least one PB guitar on each track ( all three albums are in my signature )
I've also been helping my son get his car ready for the Bogan Olympics ( Summernats )
A bit of a lazy day today so I mucked around with the headstock design, not final but close I think.
We went and saw a show last night "The Beach Boys Experience" a bunch of guys & girl from Brisbane, it was a roughly 2 hour show with an intermission, 1st half the sound was very ordinary the mics were unbalanced and piercing, I thought "not bad for an average pub cover band".
The sound guy must have had his bum kicked during the break because the balance was much better and the shrill highs tamed.
We were sitting one row behind the sound & lighting desk and the EQ curve on the voices was interesting and the compressors were spiking into the red, the console looked like an Allen & Heath C3500
you sure about that headstock if you dowel it it will limit you to a paint finish and doing a veneer Paul you very 1st finish will be you best but check the binding for cracks both mine had them which put the fox in the chicken coop , if you go with a stain or dye try keep it away from the binding both mine looked good until the stain and dye showed them up quite badly, maybe use a 6mm straight line vinyl tape on it will save you alot of hassle

Dave, we still await the beach pic. Or did I miss it?
A pic for the www the water around here is still a murky mess after the heavy weather and we aren't walking the dog at the right time of day for the light.
This though is the image I have in my mind, sand in the middle and bursting out to the darker colours
