What would you do with this...

PRS Artist Headstock.
How about a lever for a beer keg?
A door wedge....
or ...
rip out the logo and inlay it on a Tremonti SE :D (or any SE for that matter)
or ....
Attach it to the top of your own headstock, so that when you bang into things, that'll get damaged instead, keeping your original headstock nice and fresh looking.
:dude:

How about a lever for a beer keg? Hmmm...not a bad idea!!!

I don't know what I would do with it and I don't know why I want it but I do.
Strange?

Strange?Nah, it's not too strange. I'm sure there's a few more here who feel exactly the same way. ;)

You could always use it as an after-market replacement for those pesky Gibson headstocks that keep falling off.
Personally, I'm not bidding. It's got those "ears." I'm only going to bid on a snapped off Artist headstock if it's one piece, dammit.

Hey guys!!
I can do one better than that! I acquired a PRS body that had been
sawn in half due to a defect. ( It must have been a VERY minor defect, as
I could not even find it!) I then acquired a defect PRS fingerboard that
had been removed from the neck. It was complete with sawed in half aluminum dowels still embedded in the back, and birds inlays on the front. Sooooo, I decided to glue the body back together, fashion a neck from a nice piece of maple from Home Depot, and build a beautiful, but non-functional guitar. The body was already routed for hums and had bridge studs installed. I made fake pickups with blocks of wood inside nickel covers, and put pots and knobs and a switch on it for the effect The bridge was a Gibson type stop tail with slots filed in it. You ask WHY?? I am the frontman in a modern rock band and thought that it would be cool to smash a "dummy" during a show at Jillian's in Annapolis, Md. My Raul Peed Smash (as is written in black sharpie on the headstock) was obliterated on the stage in perfect time with the last beat of Mudshovel (Staind). The reaction was hilarious! I was rushed by several musician types in the audience that wanted to know "what the hell are you doing/thinking"!!! Needless to say, my plan was a smashing success! (heheheh). I am now in the process of "restoring" her to smashable condition again! She is a nice companion to my Smashocaster! Strange but true.. forum member Aldwyn has seen my masterpiece in post-smashed condition.
Thanks, I hope this was amusing!!
