Ah, I saw recent video of him. Must be a current part of his act.  I'm seeing Kottke in Mountain View on March 18.

Leo's story about being the poster boy for, "In Flight," the American Airlines on board magazine is a keeper.

Because of the Colour !!

I agree about the pickup rings, but the other reason the storm trooper guitar needs rings is that he got a standard strat route, and put an EMG in it. There's a LOT of gap, and the white finish really shows it up - normally it sits in a dark hole.

Did you cut the headstock yourself, or is it a Warmoth custom?

 

[Death by Uberschall]

It's my headstock design that Warmoth does for me.

Brilliant, I love it.  I especially like the 3D effect of the carving on the end of the headstock, where the top and the bottom of the design aren't identical, and the wood in between them is shaped in a curve, rather than a straight line.  When you look at it from the front you see the lighter wood curving down from the top to meet the larger bottom.  How did you communicate that sculpting to Warmoth?

I sent them a detailed sketch showing what I wanted from a couple of different angles, Ken Warmoth approved the design to make sure it was an original design and not stepping into copyrighted issues.
