Re: Machine head layout
If you find an internet photo of one you like and print and change the size til you get your preferred nut width, you have a full sized rendering of what works. If you see one you like in a store or at a friend's house, take a picture and do the same thing - get a width measurement of the nut or the widest part of the head for future reference.
Here is one I am working on right now - had to print it 3 times til I got the 1-3/4" nut width I want, then just trace. On this one, I was able to tip everything a bit to the right and decided to mount the strings on the other side of each post to get the strings to be parallel with the neck

In John’s drawing, what does ‘not SLIG’ mean?
