<p style="text-align: left;">If I'm building a down and dirty(basic) I use the top one. For the custom or the ones I charge more for I use a scarf joint! "No rules"! </p>

<p>Another thing to keep in mind no matter which method you choose it that most (Gitty) tuners are designed for 1/2-5/8" thick headstocks. Don't make it too thick.</p>

<p>Most folks do the cutout one for the first few gits, then get the itch to try a few with a scarfjoint to challenge their skills.</p>

<p>Done both. I would say the upper one is more classic cbg, the lower is more traditional instrument. Also when I do the lower one normally I put the purple part on top. No veneer needed ( it is already usually to thick) and the joint is covered by the fretboard. </p>

<p>It's not a question of which one "I" prefer. It's about what you prefer. Either method of creating a break angle over the nut works.</p>
<p>Personally, I always use a scarf joint for my head stock. Is it better? I doubt it, but I like the looks. I use a 12~15 degree angle since that is common on factory made acoustic guitars.</p>
<p>Don't over analyze it. Look at them both and decide which look you like better. In the end, you can't really make an incorrect decision.</p>
