I'll be impressed if it's playable when you're done. It looks like the strings won't be over the neck near the headstock.

This is however a truly valiant effort. I have always wanted to do this, but lack the courage. I bet if you do this a few more times you'll have the process down to an art.

They're not, I should have left the neck straight instead of tapering it, but oh well. I should still be able to jangle the open strings. :lol:

if they are over the frets don't trim them beyond the strings, build the neck out. You could try and do that with epoxy or by gluing some more wood to the neck.
