That is awesome. I would go for black knobs myself. Don't tell my wife. 

Did black knobs, like these better for the look I wanted, too much black otherwise

Thats lovely, I have a real soft spot for the old Epiphones. Any plans to do something like this:

I've got the Epiphone bug too. I want to build a mid-sixties style Coronet with the batwing headstock.

I had that bug too, this thing is so light and lively, obviously I wasn't going for a replica on these just the basic idea and my headstocks a better design imo

I did my take on the earlier thicker body version

If someone wants something like that I'd build it but my one is for a standard model in my line up

I've got a through neck 2 humbucker version planned to beat an sg for comfort

Maybe but I've had a set of 6-on-a-plate tuners here for nearly 20 years and nothing to use them on!

How do make that logo  so neat on the headstock ? Is it an acrylic pen or some sort of sticker ?

It's a waterslide that Rothko and frost make, you just give them the artwork, I don't silkscreen these on anymore

Thanks . 
I am not sure if I read this correctly ? Have you come up with your own way to put your logo on a headstock?
Kinda interests me . All I heard so far was Rothko and frost or people do their own printing using  similar method as Rothko and frost .
