As you were showing the body, I kept thinking that I'd love that shape with a Stauffer headstock. So, when you were secretive about it and then mentioned Stauffer I got excited. I can't say I'm not disappointed lol

I like the headstock very much. Very nice work but for the relic-ing which is not to my taste. Fakery can never achieve the noble patina of genuine age. Something a little different? If I may be bold, I suggest taking a look at the guitars played by Petra Poláčková on this platform. (I suggest her performance of Tombeau sur la Mort de M. Comte d’Logy by Sylvius Leopold Weiss. or of Bach's Chaconne) . Romantic styles of music are also presented by her on the same instruments on KZfaq. You might be tempted to have a go at building one of those instruments, I think their sound is sublime and more robust than modern classicals. They are easier on the left hand (the neck has a regular profile) than the Yepes inspired 10 string, with its wide flat neck profile as first produced by J Ramirez III and copied elsewhere. Petra's guitars (by Jan Tuláček ) have the advantage of the extended range without the discomfort or need to adjust left hand technique, and because the 6 standard strings remain in same relative position over the sound hole and in line with the neck the right hand can also play without any adjustment, except for the requirement to occasionally reach further with the thumb. If it (the headstock) proved strong enough your headstock design might be able to be extended long enough to accommodate the two or three tuners these 8 and 9 sting instruments require.

Thanks. On the relicing, I don’t have time to wait a few hundred years to get a similar look. Those guitar Petra plays are the Viennese style of body shape and they look good too. :)

That headstock is fantastic. I really thought you had that dialed into a proper scale or arpeggio. I hear the first three notes and I'm like... WOW... and then the clam!! 😂 It's a fantastic bit of art for sure! Surprisingly sonorous for its size.
@BeauHannamGuitarsКүн бұрын
Hi Sammy- Thanks so much. I might try again a figure out the proper intervals for the headstock "Harp" area to play a chord or some such thing. Depending on the scale lenght and string tension, but some guitar bodies are actually to big and the top doesn't get driven efficiently (big car, little engine) . A smaller body often sounds surprisingly loud as the "engine" (string tension, scale length) matches the car size (smaller guitar body) better. Hope that makes sense.
