    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.

      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.

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

          No, this is not the camera lens.

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

                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.

                            Ball end at the tuners looks stupid sorry.
                            Just shows how lazy some people can be.
                            Plus you have more string breakage stringing like that.

                                Ball ends at the headstock is my pet peeve. Cuz it's wrong. As for the curling of the headstock; it's either a sanding issue or the over lay is starting to lift a bit making it look like th e center is curving.
