@Fretworn: I agree, but I didn't really have much of a choice. Unless I wanted a really strangely-shaped headstock, that fourth machine head was looking way out of place. I actually couldn't come up with a design that worked, with the tuners the right way around, as they would hang off the edges... but they do work when mounted "upside down". I did a few tests before deciding to go with it, and tuning/locking was fine, so just went with it. Fingers crossed I don't find any issues with it down the road... but I'm confident it'll be fine.

@Sonic Mountain: Oooh, nice. Yeah, I considered trying to swap the 'heads' over, but assumed it would be too difficult. I'm totally on-board with giving this a shot, and it would improve the overall look a lot.

@JohnH: Thanks. My next kit will be something completely different: An ST-1M I think. While I primarily play rock/metal, my friends all play more melodic and softer "stuff" (think Pink Floyd, etc.)... and I currently have nothing but high gain guitars that sound rubbish trying to play that type of music (clean or mildly-overdriven), so I think an SSS ST will do the job. What I actually need, is a PBG valve head kit that I can plug into my currently-spare Marshall MC212 (English) cab.

Thanks for the kind words. I'll try working on the tuners, continue fine-tuning the setup of this guitar, and look at the next one
