AndrewE -> Headstock tuner slot width (Aug. 15 2007 2:36:36)

Is there a particular Headstock tuner slot width/shape that is best to use?

I'm looking at the Reyes plan which shows a slot width of 1/2"(12mm). There is also a chamfer around this slot. Won't the D and G strings be a bit close(if not touch) to the centre section of the headstock, or does the chamfer take care of this?

I don't have that plan but 12 mm sounds very close and the Reyes guitars I have seen have had more like 15-16 mm as the rest of us.

I am just finishing a Reyes style guitar. I made the string slots 14mm with a 2mm chamfer around them. The edges are 10mm. The angle of the head taper is not so much so the strings shouldnt bite on the edges.
Do a working drawing to make sure and also get the head angle right.
