It is. It's almost as decorative as a headstock!
Those large grub screws are reassuring. The large size means a larger footprint, a larger Allen key and greater longevity.
I'd still want to swap those for Torx screws but it means using a less common tool for string changes. Perhaps not a great advantage having close tolerance torxies if you've lost the key to them.
Could be worse... it might have chaffinched its woodpecker or got pigeon-holed by a great big bustard. It's not a garden out there it's a jungle and we all know... Jungle is massive!
Update:
We've made excellent progress just lately. The Falls Clinic and the physiotherapists have got Jack standing and sitting well enough to manage the passenger seat of his own car with minor adaptations! We had a trial run out this afternoon.
All being well, we should be attending with our own transport. Many thanks to @Andyjr1515 and @Stub Mandrel for their kind offers of a lift. We are optimistic as always but it's reassuring to know that we have options if the rules change on us again suddenly.

Oh darn it. All right. Mirrored pick guard against satin black. It'll be cool with the chrome hardware but flatter than if you go for chrome plate.
I've been waiting since puberty for someone to sit me down and have that particular chat with me. I think we may have left it too late for me to benefit much from it.
Please, please, please tell me Fleabag wants purple knobs.
Although that's in E flat I believe Nate originally played that on a four that is tuned to E flat rather than a five as he is sometimes seen with. He said in an interview that he liked the slackness of the lower tuning. That and a relatively high action contribute to "his" sound.
I happily play it on my five but I've not yet got it down to my satisfaction.
