Looks nice. It's slightly annoying that loads of good looking 3+3 headstock designs give terrible string alignment through the nut.

I've almost pulled the trigger on a String Butler soooo many times... Not sure if snake oil but some people say good things about them...
I need to change the tuners on my Custom so may get one and install it at the same time the new pegs go on...

I've honestly never had a problem with it on any guitar I've ever owned. I know the theory is good but equally you could argue the effect is the same on a string-through-body bridge or almost any trem unit, I'd almost go so far as to say it's just urban legend as far as tuning stability although it would have an impact of tuning accuracy I'm sure...

First potential headstock design for the custom order, I think he actually used a Cowlings ukulele as the basis before he started photoshopping which explains the obviously not bass tuners and nylon strings. Final version won't have a veneer so it'll just be maple, probably with a simple black purfling border and the MOP inlay. Tuners will be Hipshot Ultralite with a double drop-tuner on E.
