not at all Dave......all comments are valid and often useful......when I play it my wrist is nowhere near the string ends but thats just me......your point about catching your wrist on them is very valid and when I make my next headless I will change the position of the tuners to make sure that the string ends are out of the way.....Thank you.......

I'm glad you didn't take my comment as criticism. I get a little hole or two in my hide with each guitar I make even with the headstock in the conventional mode. I don't play 5 string banjo because of the tuner at the 5th fret, that string end always gets me. I guess I have string end fear. :^)

Thats a good point Dave........

I like the two on the left. I'd be poking my wrist with string ends on the third. Nice looking though.
