Just build the 58 and then put ESP on the headstock.

It's NOT the same.
And yes, I'm gonna build one too.
The best thing you can do is to copy the shape from an existing guitar. See if you can get in touch with someone who owns one or buy one yourself.

buy one yourself.
doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose?

Not if he plans to build something high end himself. He could buy an EXP-200 for a couple o hundred and then proceed to build a high end set neck guitar.

Sperzel tuners are so sexy.
I now have a set of the 6 in line Sperzels, too bad they don't have the 3/3 design nuts, but they still look good.
