D’Angelico headstock ornament (finial?)

[Caboverde]

Before I reach out to a luthier who might be able to turn one out of brass for me, is there any place that sells headstock ornaments like those on a D’Angelico? I’ve recently bought a Forcillo archtop that has a similar headstock but is missing the ornament.

Forcillo, eh? That's a United Code body - cool!

They come in all sorts of shapes 'n' sizes.

Exactly! I’ve done some research on this builder, but there’s very little info regarding United/Code’s history and D’Angelico G7 (G3?)/Forcillo guitars. I could only find a few lines that mainly came from one source (A Modernist blog), so I’m not entirely sure what to expect. It looks like a great guitar with some character, though—I hope it plays well. I’ll try to post a proper NGD post when it arrives.

Thanks for the link!

Maybe the newer D'A company could provide one one their newer ones, if it would fit.

I didn't see it listed on their parts page, but I guess contacting them wouldn't hurt. Thanks, man!

They responded to my email and will be sending me one. Thanks for this—don’t know why I didn’t think of contacting them earlier
