Neck: Mangled


I countersunk the bottom so that the string balls wouldn't project as much. I got half the ferrules pressed in before Brian reminded me that I still needed to refinish the neck.

Note that the outer holes had to be angled because of the bevel on the bottom of the headstock. That's part of the reason why they don't line up very well and generally look bad on the bottom side (the other part being that I'm just not very good at this).

Notes

Notes on what I've done. It's convenient that the ruling in this notebook is exactly the same as guitar string spacing. The lower picture shows the dimensions for the tuner cut-out.

Marking the headstock

The string ferrules will be mounted on top, you can see the dots faintly following the arc of the cut. I'll probably countersink the back a little bit to seat the balls.
