My first build was a simple straight headstock with a rounded end. The second is arrow, or `a` shaped, and 3 on a plate tuners .
The angles are giving me problems. I'm trying to get as straight string paths as I can without crowding the tuners and keep good proportions.
Can anyone help with info or blueprints?

Hi James, here is some info that may help. it will save relying on someone else's layouts and tailor your own to suit your p/h designs. I used elastic bands but you can use whatever works. Hook the band around the plastic body of the pin [to simulate the machines post] hook the other end over the nut slot position and just wander over the area of the peghead face checking for the best path the string can take.
Ideally the string goes around the post from the centre of the p/h, but at times doing it the other way can't be avoided.
I keep all my P/H patterns for future reference, probably got 40-50 of them.
Hope this helps taff.
Really great idea, I’ll be using that. Thanks
That's a good idea. Thanks!
Check out the Resources tab? Original 3 string plans there?
Scroll down towards the end for string angles? https://www.cigarboxguitar.com/knowledge-base/how-to-make-a-simple-...
