It's in the zip file i linked in the plans post that pops up from time to time if anyone wants it
Look forward to seeing how this one progresses.
I really like the body designs of 1 & 3, but with the head stock of #4, or cross between them. The lines on the left side of the head stock for 1-3 feel like they need some extra sort of curve added, but maybe that's just me.
Which of the following shapes "works" best?
I've got a custom Waghorn 7 string Kelly, with a reverse headstock and fanned frets.

I think it's the big lower horn and the angled backend. A normal inline headstock parallels those two angles and flows better.Yowser, that is amazing - love it! Ironically after one of the comments above I'm kinda coming around to the idea of a "normal" headstock rather than reverse for this shape. Certainly the couple I've drawn out do actually look nicer with a standard one. It's a shame that the only set of 7 tuners I have lying around are inline - reverse... not sure I'll get another set past the wife without raised eyebrows.
