In my studio I have an old card catalog from Georgetown College. It holds many of my small tools and materials. Held in the second drawer down on the far left is a small collection of classic and contemporary banjo headstock shapes. I have them cut out of gray paper so that I can lay them on a neck and see what fits right for a build. I thought you might enjoy the same thing. So I have put together 34 shapes that you can use as they, are or modify to your taste. I would recommend printing them off on card stock and then put on a movie you have seen before or your favorite album, and cut them out. So often I think I know what shape an instrument needs until I try a few and realize it needed something completely different.<\/p>\n
So I hope you enjoy your new little headstock library!<\/p>\n
