In the middle of building a fretless build (no attached fret board), my first build.  I've got a question about tuner height and relationship to the Nut.

Tuners are closed tuners from MGB and nut is a threaded rod.  What is confusing me is that it seems like the tuner height almost lines up with the height of the nut.  There's really no "break over" the nut like I'm used to on a regular guitar.  Just doesn't seem right.  The headstock is just a simple notch.  I removed 1/4" of material and have 1/2" thickness on the remaining headstock.  Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for your help

Mark
