Slotted headstock Looking for a plan with dimensions and Thickness
Check out the Kanile'a headstocks and try to copy them. The problem with other designs is that most slothead tuners are too big for ukulele which results in disproportional looking and heavy headstocks. Kanile's designed theirs around the Gotoh Stealth-Key tuners so they are thinnner than others and improve sound rather than add weight.
I use the stealth tuners. However they are a little delicate. It's easy to wreck them and or bend the shaft part. They do make them with shorter shaft and this would make them less likely to bend if you bang them on something. If anybody knows where to get those please post.
