Next on my list is shaping the headstock. I was thinking of doing a headstock like this:

Any reason to go with a more traditional shaped headstock?
I think it looks good. It should be easy to replicate. One of the best things about DIY guitars is that it is your choice! So do what you want to get your unique custom guitar.

No real reason to go traditional, except that it is what others expect to see. Also maybe, you know what to expect with the tuners and truss rod cover etc on.

I have done a mix of traditional and custom shapes for my builds.
