Tuning machine alignment

[Michael S. Fields]

How does one align tuning machines on a new build? Are they aligned with the center line of the headstock or the line that runs through the center of the mounting holes? This is for the 3+3 configuration of the Hummingbird I'm working on. Thanks.

Yeah didnt notice the spacing to the edge. Theyre all a little wonky in one way or another!

Also, keep in mind that these are D'Angelico's in TRADE NAME ONLY. 

The original "Master's" hands are no longer available.
