<p>Thanks Taffy. I'm going to make the peghead similar to a guitar with about a 15 degree downward angle. </p>

<p>Hi Doug, as Pick says, at times you may need to thin or create some kickback on the peghead. This done to give a greater angle from the nut to the tuner post. This in turn creates more down pressure of the strings onto the nut, which can eliminate buzz and give a tighter feel to the strings.</p>
<p>One of the ways I do it {without a scarf joint} is shown in the photos.</p>

<p>Yup that's about right from nut to body .

<p>Yup that's about right from nut to body . (most folks do it that way .) some folks taper it . but imho it is not necessary . but depending on what type of tuners (machine heads ) you use .you may have to shave a bit from nut to end of headstock . (some tuner stems are shorter .. and wood varies slightly also . some folks also cut out a space into the neck for the body lid to sit flush . or even more in an attempt to add more reso possibilities . not to mention , installing a mag pickup usually involves cutting a notch into the neck inside the box also .</p>
<p> but yup on what you asked ;-)</p>
