    Hi Zandit, The tuner holes are not precisely located - the initial drawing was done based on several tracings I found on the forum, so are a bit of a best guess.

    I can see what you are saying, they probably need to come down a bit - the space from the top of the headstock was based on my JMA headstock, which had a fair bit of variance between the holes, which makes it difficult to be really accurate. They are there mostly to give an idea but the main focus was on the actual shape, and its just that outline that has been sent.

    If you look at the 'blank' drawing, I am not sure I have the break angle for the headstock in relation to the neck exactly right, which will affect that.

    We are currently seeing how close I got, so there may be some fine tuning to do yet. Good pick up though, I will keep that in mind.
