oh, i gotcha ...  as-in, no backstrap or anything

there'd be much less room for a signature on a headstock like this, though ;)

I have to admit to being nerdy: I've got two headstocks with Bob and his sharpie on the back.  Makes them more "personal" for me :)

No sir.  You kinda got be at the right place at the right time with guit in hand.  For me that was at the factory. 
On one of them, he quipped that if you end up hating me later, the sharpie comes off with naptha ...yeah, like I'd someday instantly hate such a stellar guitar.  Gotta love the self-effacing humor!  It was a very cool talking to "the guy" who started it all, yet he comes off very much like a guy who simply digs guitars!  :)

Could this be a possible new realm for Taylor headstocks? ... let's hope not!
