| Shoulder Piece Size |
12" long by 2 3/4" wide in the middle and tapering to 2 1/8” on each end. Hand cut and shaped with rounded ends and fully dressed and burnished edges. I copied this pattern from an old pulling collar and the curved shape is symmetrical so it would work equally well for a left or right handed player. If you’re a southpaw, be sure to let me know. Otherwise I’ll set it up to cross the left shoulder for a right handed player.The shape would work fine for a headstock attachment although it would prefer a heel button.
