Cool, Bob. Appreciate the idea. Since i also do stained glass.....the handsome mando player sez to share: apparently steaming the entire headstock made it a wee bit bigger? Anyone else had this experience? Part of the reason i wanted to use it (aside from being birdseye and beautiful) is i have the original tuners and backing plate TO THAT HEADSTOCk, and figured it would be a easy fit. GUess what, gotta drill. Good thing it is a mando, with 8 strings should cover up my oooopppps. Or i could stick bushings in there at some point in time. Anyway, it is now mounted, need to do a little more sanding a jogging (it is slightly proud of the nut, whoops) and i can string it up. Sure gives new life to the old girl. 'Spaw you NEVER give non advice. Just thought with all the BS we've been having round here, could use a few more music oriented threads. Thanks, all.
