I've been working on my first scratch build for at least a year now. In that time I've drawn out countless headstock designs, none of which I cared for. Tonight I finally found one I liked, so, in a fit of satisfaction and enthusiasm, I transfered it to my headstock and cut it out. It was only while preparing to glue up the headplate that I noticed that it is very similar to a well known higher end production model guitar.

It is not that headstock, but at first glance it is very close. The differences are, for the most part, that mine is narrower in the wing sections where they come up from the nut, and it is also slightly asymetrical.This is my first, and definately not for sale, but it bugs the you know what out of me that after nearly a year trying to design a headstock shape, this is what I've come up with. I don't have enough material left to alter it, so I'm stuck with it.
Sorry, just needed to vent somewhere. Carry on and thanks for reading.
