I think this headstock looks awesome!

In the electric guitar building class I took from Charles Fox, he said the classic Fender headstock where the longest string is highest treble string allows for easier string bending as opposed to making it the shortest string. That is another perspective, for what it is worth. I don’t bend strings when I play, so it doesn’t matter to me. I am curious as to what the rationale is for making the bass string the longest. Especially, if it improves the tone of the bass string!

Poorness: Should the bass string be the longest due to physics? Can you elaborate... [I simply did it cuz it looked good to my eye]

Love it.

BTW, there's a thread over in the forums discussing "the rules" of CBG building. This is one everyone forgets. The "correct" way to build a headstock is exactly like this. The longest string should be the lowest string.
