Looks good dozy!
I like the effect the "sharks teeth" give on the headstock. (maybe they're not sharks teeth, but that's the first thing I thought of when I saw it)
Making the world a better place; one guitar at a time...
Thanks McCreed. True story: When I drew up the idea a while back, I looked at it from a certain angle and thought I might actually cut the shapes out of the headstock. There's a good chance I'll do that for a future build.
