The wood I use for headplates on my guitars is important to me. I like a certain kind of grain patter that I feel gives excitement and gravitas to the appearance of my guitars. So I cut these pieces myself from larger boards. None of the wood parts of my guitars are purchased pre-made. 
I cut the Spanish cedar that I use for necks from boards that are 12 feet long by 4 inches thick (not shown). The boards shown here, which I earlier cut to the correct thickness, have been drying in my workshop for a few years. 
Below are shown a neck ready to be joined to the soundboard, back, and sides of a guitar, and one ready to be joined to the heel block/foot. 
This guitar has a variation on a rosette I made a few guitars ago. All that remains is to make the nut and saddle and string it up.      |
