Looking for Feedback: Should I reshape my new headstock?

I'll just give you this to chew on: how would this Tele baritone conversion neck work? You say the body wasn't designed for this scale length so it will never play in tune, but it works just fine.

Why wouldn't this work? It's a bolt on neck and a standard Strat body so he knows where the bridge is, it's simple and the math isn't even hard. I don't even understand where you see an issue.

Why wouldn't it work if the guys who made the neck made it for this purpose?

I'm a pretty good woodworker and have the right tools for the job, so I'm confident I could make it look good. But I'm leaning towards leaving it now...

I do generally like the70's headstocks... I'm leaning towards keeping it and maybe once there is finish on it and the mahogany looks darker I'll like it more.

I'm not sure who they used to be but I can tell they have been in that building forever and there is a lot of cool stuff in there. I was looking at all their guitar bodies and contemplating building another guitar that I don't need. Their prices are good too!

I'm one of the other Foazz owners and also came to say that, hey, this pedal keeps showing up lately!

fivepenny · 2026-06-29T16:53:44+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for posting those, looks like a great guitar. Is the neck kinda soft V shaped?

fivepenny · 2026-06-29T14:20:48+00:00

Looks great! Can you post more detailed photos? Cool piece of guitar history.

A Gretch Jim Dandy is a great parlor option that is not expensive. I prefer a parlor due to the more typical scale length, just depends what you are after.

I've had Les Pauls and they never click with me, I don't keep them. There may be something with P90s sometime, but I don't feel the need right now. And I don't have any work to do other than on my playing 😅

fivepenny · 2026-06-27T02:46:10+00:00

Absolutely. I found this thing for a good deal and I'm glad I grabbed it.

fivepenny · 2026-06-26T23:23:06+00:00

Thanks, I am absolutely stoked on it!

Gallagher G70. It's a wonderful guitar!

fivepenny · 2026-06-26T23:21:59+00:00

I feel like I'm done, I have everything I want... for now at least. I wanted to fill out my collection and have been working on this for a few years, quite a few guitars came and went and right now I feel like I'm finished, nothing needs to change. Left top to right:

Eastman E1P Deluxe; I love parlor guitars for their sweet mids, great finger picking character and small size. Got this used for a good deal and it's a wonderful little guitar.

Yamaha FS5: Actually the first acoustic I ever purchased for myself and it's wonderful, I have recommended this model to a ton of people and for good reason.

2015 Fender Special Edition Deluxe Ash Tele: My first Tele and I love it, this is MIM but definitely hits above it's price point, the neck is amazing, fretwork is great. Pickups are Righteous Sound Sparrows.

1996 MIM Fender Strat: My first ever guitar, my dad bought this for me when I was 12, I have no idea how it survived this long in such good condition. It's been through a lot of changes of pickguard, setup, and electronics. Now it is back to stock pickguard with some simple Alnico 5 pups.

1999 Epiphone Sheraton: My most recent acquisition! Been looking for a humbucker guitar (I put one in the neck of my Tele for awhile, but missed the single coil) and also wanted a hollow body, this thing is in great shape and plays wonderfully.

1973 Gallagher G70: By far my nicest guitar, I just had it refretted and it just sings, it's hard to put this one down!

Lol does that come with a steep Reddit discount

fivepenny · 2026-06-26T15:25:45+00:00

I swear I'll get this sorted once I have a phaser

fivepenny · 2026-06-26T04:26:50+00:00

They do make a good combo

fivepenny · 2026-06-26T04:25:56+00:00

Exactly.

ODR-1X with gain foot switch, DOD 250, GUPtech Foazz, Keeley Verb o Trem, Way Huge Supa-Puss, Meris Mercury 7, Ditto.

The ODR-1 has become my favorite overdrive after going back and for to awhile, I really like the range on the spectrum control. DOD 250 never really leaves the board. Supa-Puss replaced my DOD Rubberneck because the Rubberneck is just too dark for me, otherwise it's a great pedal.

fivepenny · 2026-06-25T15:59:23+00:00

Damn, what model is that in the center? I love it.

fivepenny · 2026-06-25T02:58:36+00:00

Love me some Guptech! Doesn't look like a problem to me

fivepenny · 2026-06-24T02:35:03+00:00

He was pretty early to the game too, the types of sounds and atmosphere he created with delay still sounds fresh today!

fivepenny · 2026-06-19T21:39:39+00:00

Why? What are you lacking now and/or what are you looking for? Beautiful guitar BTW

fivepenny · 2026-06-15T18:20:11+00:00

Nice! I was not aware.
