Not from my chair, Pineapple is a desert, putting it on a main course is a thing invented by people who are to lazy to get up and fetch a desert from the fridge or wherever :roflmao:

How's the boat fun going? :hyper:

A nice pineapple and maple syrup glaze on ham is always welcome at my dinner table. Actually I can't remember when I've ever had pineapple for desert. On this side of the pond it's mostly a breakfast or lunch thing along with watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries and blueberries in a fruit cup.

But on pizza? Gotta agree with most, it (along with spinach) just seems really out of place on a nice pie. I'll eat it but only because I'm not a picky eater (heck, I'll even eat anchovies on my pizza).

I can confirm that the standard Gibson bell TRC doesn’t look right. The scale is a bit off, but still.

A) How 'bout a cover the same shape as the headstock, 3 ply, blk/wht/blk... but it would hafta have something on there, That big blank chip would hafta be adorned with something for the eye. What is the Welsh word for "Custom"?

B) I think it would be beautiful if you could make one out of mahogany (again, same shape as the headstock), that color-matched the sides and back of the body. Considering the fragility, is there a way that could be done?

There isn't a direct word for custom, the closest would be "Archeb arbennig" which fits the bill but is a bit pretentious in that it means it is more special than special and a bit long to fit on a TRC, maybe a MOP "C"?
The TRC from Mahogany is straightforward, I could make a 3 cross ply from veneers, it would be easy to use an ebony face veneer with the two bottom ones from Mahogany if a black surface was an idea?

Too busy. I would just go with a plain black one and make it mostly disappear. The headstock doesn't need clutter from a TRC.

I'm liking the plain black. The high-fiving dragon is big and having a decorative TRC could make the headstock too busy.

Hmmm Great minds think alike. Now you just have to accept pineapple in pizza.
