Natural wood is beautiful to look at.  I leave it unstained almost all the time, no mater what the project.

Thank you!  I do enjoy seeing it.  One point of follow up: the soft cypress wood is more prone to damage than harder woods usually used on headstocks (including overlays).  Since my guitar usually hangs on the wall by the headstock, I noticed some wear on the cypress just behind the nut.  A little sanding and a few coats of wipe on polyurethane and it's good to go another few years at least.  FYI, the wall hanger is a string swing.

The headstock is the last thing about a GS Mini that disappoints me. Your project has inspired me to press on with this guitar and its possibilities.

Thanks for sharing.
