Headstock Angle

[Crusader]

I have been thinking about an idea for a headstock but someone has already done it

Check out this guys guitar I'm sure some people already know about it but I thought it was worth posting

The tutorial itself is very interesting too

The first idea that came to me was to leave the headstock dead straight and put the tuning pegs on the face upside down, and drill long holes through the headstock to meet the tuning pegs. Trouble is the strings would meet the pegs on an angle. You would need to angle the pegs so they are square to the strings

Obviously the way they put tuning pegs on a Classical guitar is actually the first idea that came to mind, then it went back to it. I didn't think you could take out so much timber off the headstock and still be strong enough though

EDIT:

ever see a maton wedgetail

Pretty cool, so thats the opposite of what Our Souls is going to do...this is giving me some other ideas

i think maton's are aussie, although iirc it was an ex-pat brit that founded the company
