The tuning pegs seem to be the thing you need to spend the most $ on, I learned that one. Also, to take care when using tools around the neck as to not gouge the heck out of it, I put a few stray marks in mine that I regret. Measure 7 times, cut once, gotta live by that one.

Super job one those, they look awesome!!

My biggest problem is that I get into a groove and find myself chugging along, working on a CBG, and all of a sudden, I find that I drilled a hole where I didn't want to, because I was too focused on what I was doing and should sit back and remember what my plans were.

The whole of the headstock needs a lot of thought. Machine heads, I had cheepies fail. Violin pegs, gotta have the right taper. Holes or slots have got to be in the right place and the right size.

For me it is headstock headaches!
