Horace Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 On a few high end Heritage models - Golden Eagle, Super Eagle, and Henry Johnson as well as on a few Gibson models - J200 and L5 their is a rounded point in the center of the fretboard that sticks out toward the neck pickup beyond what would otherwise be the end of the fretboard. Is there a name for this little doo-dad ? Thanks, Horace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DetroitBlues Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Yep, check out KBP810's custom built H-157 thread. You'll find he ordered one. Looks absolutely stunning.... To me, its small touch that helps this become a high class instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitfiddler Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 A multi-layer bound cupid's bow is so classy! kbp810~I just noticed that the fret ends extend all the way to the edge of the fretboard. Very nice touch. Is there anything you forgot on that amazing instrument?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
