Mytch Berdah built a kit from Blues Creek. It turned out very well if I say so myself.

Very nice John, lots of bling on that one for sure. Do you happen to have dimensions for the inward tapered headstock?

Hi, Daren. Here's picture of the modified peghead. I've cut the slotted peghead and add mahogany pieces on both sides. Then I put on an ebony veneer and my son Logan did the logo he designed with walnut and rosewood and a whit plastic purfling strip.

It's my first try on the forum, if you don't get the pictures, here's a link where you'll have all the building pictures.

Best regards.

Yes, Mytch did a great job. He posted pics on Robbie's forum and I was not able to view them for some reason. Thanks for posting John.

I notice the tuners are offset in the way I was asking about. I don't see any structural reason why this tuner layout would not be Better than the traditional/
Any comments?

structurally there is no difference . It is a personal preference , as long as the buttons fit you can do about anything you want.
