Mock build looks okay to a complete noob like me
The string pull between the nut and peg looks a bit off to me. Should I be worried?
As the scribble on the headstock suggests I like pointy gutiars.

No, your string trees will sort this out...

Nice one JT.
Just be careful not to take someones eye out with thhe pointy bitz
Also, are you going to pointify the body horns?
That would really turn it into a nicely balanced looking Metal Monster
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Headstock is shaped. I'm not 100% happy with it. I should do the body horns next weekend, though I'm not sure there is enough meat to get a nice curve on the bottom horn. Might leave it as is and consider it as having a personality conflict.
Hahahahaha!
As long as the curve wont compromise the neck pocket you can go nutz on it..
You can always mod the scratch plate to suit..
Can't have your Guitar suffering from a personality complex

Had a go at adding some contours to the headstock. Still needs a bit of work to clean it up. Must learn more patience and focus.

Looking interesting!
Reminds me (slightly) of the headstock on John Entwistle's Buzzard basses. Are you still going to reshape the body as well? I think the body will need to go pointy so the headstock sits in. Even just Jem pointy

I've got some ideas for the body. I'll see what happens when I "gently" attack it with the bastard file. Might end up with one for the ugly guitar thread.
