Only on days that end in Y.

Thanks for the laugh and taking it so well!

Do you always come off as an asshole?...or just today?

That is just a matter of opinion. They can go on the body, up in the air, clipped off....it's up to the user.

Only when required. And he's right about the ball ends. Balls belong in the body, not out where everyone can see them.

[Amerturk]

Guessing about what? You can get away with only one wind around the post since you're locking the nut down anyway. And cut the stupid ball end off, because it looks retarded at the headstock.

This might be due to the camera lens, but the back of the headstock looks straight to me..

No, this is not the camera lens.

I've had this happen before. Just loosen the strings after the nut is tightened and it's fixed. It will go back to normal soon.

Also, save some work on your stringing up you guitar by letting the ball end touch the tuner and not to extend out. Don't believe the shit you here about it causing damage...no way in hell. String it thru and as mentioned, let the ball end rest on the tuners, extend the string to the end of the saddle screw at the very end of the floyd and snip. Lock string into the saddle and start winding. This will give you about 3 winds per tuner and it's perfect every time....no more guessing if you will.

Without the strings, the headstock still the same way, as in the pictures.

... or stop leaning it against your radiator

[Nimitz]

I'm worried, when you see the headstock personally.

Stop looking at it...

[RobRR]

Ive seen it happen, especially on my Concert V bass, and a few other guitar necks. Its something that happens over time, but unless it gets really bad or effects the finish, not something I would worry about.
