What design flaws are there DB? I'm curious.
From my experience almost all tuning problems are from the nut not being lubed or the strings not being attached properly. I've set up tons of student guitars and once I've sorted those two out the rest falls into place. This is $50 chinese strats too
Nicko hope you are patient, it will take some time for DB to prepare a 40 terabyte document

OK.. To put it as concisely as possible, the main area of weakness is the transition from the neck to headstock.
As you are aware, a grubson neck to headstock transition is rather flat and sudden.
The simple soloution to strengthen this is to make a triangular transition, ie, leave a bit of meat there.
This wont affect the playing comfort at all and would make the headstock a heck of a lot stronger.
The other way would be to machine the neck out of a single chunk of tree, thus doing away with the join.
