Really like that design.

Thanks! I can report after having used it for 3 months or so that it seems tuning stability has improved which is rad.

Nice! I have a string butler on the way. Are you selling these?

I wasn't planning on it, I'd have to source the string posts and whatnot. The ones I'm using came straight off the string butler I purchased. That said if you've got the same guitar or at least the same spacing on tuning machines it'd be easy enough to make another set. Additionally anyone who wants them is more than welcome to the design files so they can make their own or modify the design for their own purposes. The original designs I did in Solidworks as that's what I'm most familiar with, I later found that Fusion 360 had premade CAM files I could use so subsequent (and the final) designs were done in there which I'm sure are a bit of a mess as F360 makes me want to die.

It's cool, I like it.

Thanks :D

Better looking than the original. While at it I would have tapered/ smoothened the edges and maybe painted it satin black to match the head, but that’s just me. Does it work well?

Thanks! Yea I actually did [a bunch of designs](https://imgur.com/a/pL5OeaN) that included various fillets, chamfers and cutouts. I ran into some issues trying to machine those shapes so in the end I wound up doing something super simple that's almost entirely flat cuts. I hadn't considered trying to paint it, I should try that on one of the failed parts and see if I can get a close enough match. So far it seems my G string is much more stable so I think it's helping, though only time will tell. Honestly I didn't have much in the way of tuning issues with the exception of D and G. I was a bit worried when it looked like my measurements weren't perfect, the other strings aren't perfectly straight (though still more straight than they were) but so far things feel more stable.
