Do you use headstock overlays? I'm sure there are people out there that would inlay head plates for you which would be much cheaper then sending the entire instrument or neck....Mike

James,

Bob Garrish, of the forum, does inlay headplates. He uses a cnc process and it is economical if you order many. He can produce just the inlay pieces or produce them and add to your or his headplate stock.

Make sure you get your headstock logo refined. Once he gets your graphic in the computer, it is more $ to change it.

good luck.

Also check out Todd Reith at

He was part of our Colorado Luthiers before he went to the dark side and moved east. He did some very nice work for me.
