This is the side view of the head stock of my converted 69GT (Pat Sticker T-Tops added). As you can see, it was grovered- and had a piece of mahogany laminated to the underside. I also posted a top shot of the head stock. And yes- I do know the difference between a 1969 mid/early and a 1970- and this is a 1969. Nobody did this to remove the volute.
This was fairly well done- they didn't go overboard matching the stain color but oh well- it plays and sounds great, and the really did nice work matching the laminate to the underside with no obvious removal of the top veneer. CV19 morbid curiosity (meaning plenty of time on my hands)- why? This was some serious surgery- there are no signs of a break. My speculation is someone effed the drilling for the Grovers and had to do this. I am curious what the original thickness of the HS should have been.
I asked this 5 years ago and didn't get too much of a reply- we have lots of new folks- I was wondering if anyone had a thought?
