I know Ken said the other day he was posting the 7 on ebay. Looks like the winning bidder might be questionable........

Killer looking Smith!!

Very nice! Hey Ken, what's the little thingy on the back of the headstock? I've never seen anything like that. That pointy wooden protrusion thing. It seems like it's there to serve a purpose but I can't tell from the pictures what that might be aside from maybe reinforcing the headstock a bit.

Beautiful instrument!

I think that little thingy on the back of the headstock has the same shape as the trussrod cover. I dunno. Maybe it's like a depression under that cover so you can get down there better, and he just dressed it up on the backside of the headstock.

The thing on the back looks to be carved from the headstock.
I think it's a trade mark thing.

By the way Ken very sweet bass.

i've heard folks call that a volute, but i don't know if that's correct.
