Matt, I just saw the pictures on your Kickstart page and I must say, you have some serious talent, my friend.
One question I do have for you, on the headstock below, it looks like you glued a couple of pieces to either side of the headstock...
How well has that been holding up with the string tension?
I'm looking at doing a 3 string shamrock shape in the fuuture, and I had been thinking it needed to be one piece to handle the stress. But, if what you did holds up, I may just may give the 3 peice method a try.
How thick is the slotted wood? What I really want to know is how much thicker is the headstock now than the rest of the neck, from the underside of the headstock to the top side.

Seems like it would be a bit easier, yes?

Matt,
That slotted wood idea will be perfect for what I want to do. I will give it a go!
Thank you, sir.

One last question, sir.
