Thanks UJ", Yep!, this particular style of Headstock is fast becoming one my fave's, particularly on a build like this, with all the curves.

The actual Pyrography work was done with a Hot Pen, I found the Soldering type of Pen useless, as was a cheap Chines set up I purchased on Ebay some time back, the Unit did heat up well, but the Pens supplied couldn't cope with the heat needed to burn properly, and were to hot to hold, and eventually started to melt, however I recently opened my tight ass wallet and purchased a more expensive set up which was made in Canada, and it works just fine :-)

Sure like that headstock and AGP.   Way to hot to build right now in my little shed.   But pyrography with a little torch is just one more thing that I have not tried.
