This "A" logo that I had Andy DePaule cut, is a bit too large for my headstock overlay I think. What do you guys say ? It's 1 and 1/8" tall. ![]() ![]() |

Dave, at first sight, it looked a bit big but after a second look, it looks like it will fit nicely, i'd say go with it bro! ![]() |

It's a little hard to judge without seeing your tuner layout. Are you going to bind your headstock? |

Looks good to me Dave! BTW, is that a MadRose headstock overlay? |

I think it looks great. It is NOT too big |

Thats a BRW overlay Dave that I got from Steve R.(Colonial). Barry ,No I'm not binding this one. I checked the spacing for the tuner posts and the "A" fits in between ok. |

Dave, I think the size is good, but you might try moving it down from the top edge a bit. It'd give better overall visual balance, IMO. |

Ok, Grumpy Olf Fart here...with a different take. I personally think it's a bit tall. If you add binding and purfling to it, and then tuners, it may risk being out of balance with the proportions of the top part of the headstock. But this is a very personal thing, and when all's said and done, it's your decision and you have to be happy with the end product. |

It is a good looking logo Dave. If it was me I'd use it but consider having more make a tad smaller, especially if you are going to bind a headplate or do a purfling line. You might consider something around 5/8". Play with the one you have in photoshop.... |

I was going to say what Carlton said. Double the space it has currently, or give it another 2/3rds of what you have currently, and it should be just right. |

I like what James and Carlton are saying... Move it down and it just might look perfect!!! ![]() ![]() |

Or Smaller... ![]() |
Author: | Dave Anderson [ Sat Oct 07, 2006 5:25 am ] |

Yep,you're right Don,Carlton,and James. I think lowering it and also making it just a tad smaller is the answer. I appreciate all the advice, everyone.And thanks for the Photoshop pics Joe. ![]() |

Dave, There was something else bothering me a little, and I just realized what it is. With the rounded crest on your headstock, you might consider putting a radius on the top of your "A," instead of the flat plane it has now. Just a thought. |

I like the smaller version much better. I know of other builders who make some mighty fine guitars but they have a really large logo on the headstock. Very distracting IMO |

Carlton, I see your point but I really like this A. I think I'm going to stick with it but smaller to about 3/4" or 7/8. It should be fine after lowering it some. I am going to do some more drawings and I will try some rounded A's. So who knows,I may end up changing it. Thanks a lot! |

Joe, you speedy wizard! The rounded "A" is just what I'd envisioned, and I must say I like it better. Of course, there's nothing bad about the original, so I think Dave's okay whichever way he goes. Joe, you may end up as our official "thought-made-manifester!" |
