Silent Guitar Scratch build ideas

Yep, all of those things are going through my head right now, especially the string interference.
I'll try addressing all of those things with the re-design.
I'll look back at the designs I originally posted for more inspiration!

Draw it up on Tracing paper over the top of your Paddle Headstock, you can overlay other sheets of tracing paper and make tweaks to the base design to see what you think.
If you had a 4-5mm radius on those corners and then ran your curve between them it would look pretty schmick I think. You could also look at turning that curve into a bevel, to avoid any string clearance issues. But that might not play well with your pointy design cues.

Yep, understood. I actually have some tracing paper, so I'll give that a shot too!
The bottom curve is going to change completely I think. A bevel would be hard to do on the existing curve shown there, especially around the nut, and getting a smooth transition.
We'll see what tonight brings!!
