What are the advantages of roller parts
Exactly that, what are the advantages of roller string trees and a roller nut and bridge?

The string rolls across something, rather than sliding across it. They are especially beneficial when used with a tremolo, but not quite as much(if at all) otherwise.

What exactly do you have in mind? Adding wood to an existing headstock might look ugly, if the woods don't match well enough.

Well that should be doable. Just sure you glue long-grain to long-grain. End-grain doesn't glue very strong.

Long-grain glued properly is known to stronger than the actual wood. So as long as it's done right, it should be fine. |

Are you talking long grain maple or is long grain a different material all together?

long grain means that it's cut with the grain of the wood, as opposed to across it.
