on 03/26/2009 		Why not have the headstock's shape more closely match the angles and points of the body? [Seems like that should be covered on day one in Guitar Design 101.]
Also, the letter K is a fairly ungainly letter (I should know, after 35 years of lettering experience) and may not be the most attractive choice for repeated inlays, in my book they shouldn't overpower the long 'flow' unavoidable in a fretboard. They tend to send the eye out at angles to the axis.
And I know it's probably a typo, but that 4.75" scale length has got to make the frets a hair close for my human fingers.
And maybe it's the pic, or my screen, but I'm not seeing any knobs at all!
But, on the plus side, numbering them in order IS a capital idea. Brave choice. Kudos!
