oh, wow...using pg material to cover the headstock is fucking brilliant. I love that idea.

*if* I were in a position to buy another project guitar, I'd totally buy that.

DiPinto does that on some, right? I thought it was them. There's some guy on ebay who will cover pickups or anything with PG material. Hide your pups--glue some to the top of a robroe.

don't do it!!!!
you will have to trash the body.
somone told me once that the f-holes on the old arliners/kays/ and supros are made like that becuz the router wouldn't fit all the way in the template.
hahah
crazy japs.
its at 200, and thats way too much.

it would be easier to buy 1 1/2 inch laminent lay it on a duplicator router system and match that body.
that side crack is nasty, and the only logic that i could find in anyone trying to restore stuff like that, i mean fully restore is if it was your first guitar or something.

I believe the f holes like that one are a stylist thing that goes back to the 20's.

interest dave,
i think i have only ever seen f-holes like that before on a harmony archtop from the late 50s or maybe even the early 60's.
ive heard all sorts of rumers that those companies used to share templates and machines.
it was like a big ghetto family.
