I have a customer who wants a slot head on his 14 fret neck. I notice that a lot of you use slot heads on 12 fret steel strings, but I dont think I have seen slot heads on 14 fretters. Is there a reason for avoiding it or is this an acceptable method and just rarely used? Your opinions welcome. |

come to think of it, I just delivered a 14 fret cutaway short scale (24.9) OM Fingerstylist. Ken, you might have seen this one in Miami this past spring?

Beautiful guitar Lance! I guess I just havent paid attention. Most of the slot heads I see are 12 fretters. I told the customer that I dont see a problem with it and that I would do it for him. Just wanted to see if I was biting off more than I could chew. Thanks for the replies! |

Ken, I've done it before, and am doing one now. I like the look quite a bit, and if the guitar is already heavy, this saves a bit of weight. I think Lance's photos should dispel any second thoughts. Nice guitars, Lance! Steve |
