My jury is out on this head. Is it too much? I might chop er down some and change the shape. I like the ears though.

Sorry Uncle. It is forever transformed. I did an inlay. I'll snap a pic tomorrow morning. I think it's a good thing. A mass improvement one might say. I got sustain up the brain...

Leave it just like it is!

Wonder how tire balancing leads would work? Fishing jigs? Rifle balls? I'm getting into it.

This gal is light for her size. But it's one big heard. I'll try the mass increase by adding some metal. I think I have just the item. It has a great sustain already. The Echoy tin tone rings on for a long time. Thanks again Peter, Jim. Fun ideas.

I'll have to look up the fat finger. Thanks for the good ideas fellas.

What Jim says is true. They used to sell a piece of metal you could clamp to the headstock in order to increase sustain. It was called "Fatfinger" or something.

A few opinions on heavier headstocks, fwiw:

Love your ears Dave :) The headstock is maybe a little overwhelming... And the extra weight probably brings the instrument out of balance. But I like the general picture of the instrument a lot!
