Guys, I know we're guitar players, and we're all traditionalists, and blahdy blahdy blahdy, but still, it's 2005 and we are still lugging around heavy plywood headshells covered with fake leather invented in the 30s for car seats?
Les (that would be me) doesn't think so!
Here's my idea: a carbon fiber headshell. No need for tolex. Nice and rigid. Would look cool.
It wouldn't need the metal corners, wouldn't need tolex, and handles could be molded in on either side of the shell.
And you could still put a fabric grille in front for airflow, although, let's face it, cooling slots could also be molded into the shell.
I think it would look slick! Can I get an amen, brothers and sisters!
