Guitar Artists

I think wearable wooden cowboy hats might open a new niche for scroll saw woodworking and give our craft a little more visibility.

I came up with an idea that might be interesting for guitarist.  Have a nice presence on stage with a wearable wooden cowboy hat.  Maybe the hat to match his/her guitar. 
My 'how-to' article is on this website so anyone can use it, refine it,  improve it.   I realized I am only self trained scroll saw guy.  Not knowledgeable wood joint expert.  But the guys that build acoustic guitars (luthiers) are experts with wood.  Some have scrollsaws in their shops and some might not.  
I have reached out to a few luthier guys and sent them the link to the 'how-to" article to maybe expand their products to their customers.   They would add a wooden cowboy hat to the possible product list.   Now luthiers might or might not like building the hats,  but they do have clients that might like one built.  

It has not been very long since I sent out emails.   I don't expect replies.   I also did not try to sell them my made hats,  or order anything.  I just told them that all the info is out there to use if they are interested.   So my email did not even request a response.   But did say for questions I will be available. 

A few follow up concepts.
Does anyone here on scrollsaw village play acoustic guitars or know a guitarist ,  singer songwriter ?   
   You could make a wearable wooden cowboy hat during your 'gigs' stage or front porch presence. 
   Was the guitar bought from a 'boutique' maker?  Maybe suggest to a local guitar maker about this idea.  

Would any of you consider making a hats (board-to-bowl technique) for customers of a local guitar maker or guitar player?

The pattern is based on the owners head.  "The how to" article shows a curve tool is the starting point as to countour bumps bulges of owners head. The idea is to make a confortable wearable wood piece.
