Head case

Got a Spear brand J-width neck here on Buy & Sell, and did not really like the headstock> Price was so cheap, I didn't mind doing some Franken-bass mods to it. Cheap fun, keeps me off the streets ;)

Original Spear headstock:

First cut it to a curvy style, but didn't like it, so I blacked out edge to a tele shape with a Sharpie prior to cutting with handheld jigsaw, seems to be a good way to see how it will look first before cutting.

After the tele cut, I did some hand sanding and applied some Minwax golden oak stain & wipe on poly

Added a spaghetti logo I had in my drawer, for my consumption/pleasure only

Final partscaster product, with Bill Lawrence P-46 pickup
