Just double-check your tuner sizes, especially on the top (D and G) tuners. You don't want to narrow the headstock so much that they overlap the edge when fitted.
Oh that just looks NAUGHTY! Lovely work AxeMurderer.Quote:

wow I have missed this build diary Axemurderer. You are doing a fantastic job with the burst on front and back well done !
With your marked up headstock shape if you make it narrow at the top beware your tuner holes will be offset from the edges closer at the top so you may need to plug and re-drill the tuner holes to have equal offsets to the headstock edges.
Hi Axe
You have set a cracking pace and used a lot of techniques I can sure learn from. You have done a lot of sanding that I was far to frightened to do on my quilt.
Looks fantastic and I love that shine already. I'm watching closely.
Coming up nice I love the green burst

I did something similar with my headstock. I ended up buying a set of Forstner bits and plug cutters from Carbatec, plugged the existing A, D, G & B holes and redrilled.
My headstock is significantly narrower than yours, so you may get away with it.
So another hour of sanding and an hour of rubbing oil. I'm using the U-Beaut Aussie Oil and it goes on fairly well. Not sure how long to let it set before I steel wool it and apply another coat. Any advice?
I'm fortunate that my wife and daughter have gone away early for Christmas leaving me at home to eat macdonalds, drink beer and rub my guitar.

On the headstock... I now realise what you all are saying. If I don't move the holes to align with the re-shapped edges, my tuning knobs (or whatever they're called) wont line up with the sides. I'll have to see how it looks and may need to move the holes.
