SX URSA headstock reshape attempt

[electracoyote]

Thanks a lot!
its been really fun. i cant wait for it to be done.
I will post some pics for sure, Just dont know if i will post pics of the decals i just ordered.... Ive heard that it is frowned upon here. but i will def post some pics. thanks again . greatly appreciated.

Yeah, be careful with sharing pics of the decal here. The trademark enforcement freaks will come out of the woodwork.

Update stuff:
I for one kinda of like a vintage orangey tint, which made matching the wood a little easier. so here you go for those of you who care.
please leave some comments. thanks
Still needs finish sanding and a buffing so its still kinda rough. enjoy.

Back of the HS didnt get as much effort since noone will see it....

Now i just need a different pickguard. any ideas?
Hipshot string retainers on the way, also....
let me know what you think

Also got some Mirror Coat for the finger board!!! yay

THANKS!!!
you mean trace that green piece of paper or my new HS?

that piece of paper is a rough tracing of a Marcus Miller so the nut is like 1cm.I used it for the top and round part the bottom was hand drawing cuz it wasnt proportionate on the 5er.

Youre like the 10th person to suggest black, so its probably gonna be black. thanks

Nice work, for the PG I would do black or a pearloid.

so veneer or paint?

You could stain the edge dark to go along with the burst, and then add a maple veneer, no?
Or stain the edge and backside as well.

Sorry, I came in way late! I will go to the corner now.
