Hi,

I have a 1946 or later B6 that came to me with no headstock logo. I know this doesn’t affect the playability, but it would be nice to have. Here’s the headstock itself:




Thanks for any suggestions,

Jim

It looks like that model came originally with a metal piece that covered the whole keyhead.

Thanks, Erv. That’s my thought, too, judging from the bracket next to the nut.

I wish you luck, Jim. I've only ever seen the part you want already attached to a steel guitar.

You might luck out and find someone with a broken neck who wants to recover some part of their investment. Good luck!

Thanks, Brad. I have no idea where the logo went in the guitar’s past. Somebody probably used in in a proto-steam-punk-art installation. The broken neck is a good suggestion. I don’t suspect bakelite can be repaired like wood!

BTW, I’ve appreciated your page of steel for a number of years. What a resource!

Best wishes,

Jin
