100% Straight pull headstock

Bit the bullet, asymetric but 100 percent straight string pull.Also the other designs were based off 3 inch wide blanks, when in fact they were 4 inches! I widened the neck a bit.

Inspired by headstock by Sam Koontz and looks a little more fender like. It looks like ocean waves. Also similar to lloyd loars mandolin. Inspired by 3 headstocks.

Really inspired by hufschmidguitars.com. He makes straight angle necks and straight pull on strings. He also makes amazing glow in the dark pickups. Also thinking about having truss rod adjustment at nut. Maybe not that much of a big deal considering maple neck and using warp resistant richlite fretboards.

So insecure that I need validation from other luthiers. I need to commit. I need confidence in my decision making. Less thinking and more doing. Less self doubting myself.
