Thanks guys, but I've laser etched the headstock already.  It's quite small, the only way I could have gotten that F on it would be to cut a new one maybe 1/3 that size. 

It does give me an idea for the place where the FB doesn't quite butt up to the box top.  Maybe a small red F there?

Yeo, BQ,   Keith said that and with more thought, that would be a really good usage.   Poor Lark.  Probably too much input.

That actually looks kool uncle, I know I guy who has a custom archtop with an abalone f-hole inlay on the peg head? You can also throw a saddle on it & use it as a bridge?

Oooh.   Black headstock with a red F. Angled seems good, but you did the f on the box straight, so either way.  

Do it your way.  Keith and I will be interested to see how it comes out.

Paint it red and glue it lower than the string, maybe.  But it might be in the way.  Or between the bridge and tailpiece.

Liking UJ's input. Or you could paint the F red , then add your bridge on top of it. Isn't it nice, for so much help, lol.

The f might look good on the headstock.

I hadn't thought of a use for the F yet.

Gluing red cloth under the sound hole, now that is an interesting idea.

Wow, good way to do it.  Nice parts too.  I wonder if the red cloth goes under the f hole and if you will reuse the 'F'.
