They also have the benefit of being very good tuners.

Ever heard of any mods like a bit of metal that could be screwed in or anything?
Any cheap DIY version of the fat finger that I could get in B&Q for a couple of quid or anything?
I've put a capo and a clipon tuner on the headstock and, unless I'm imagining it, seems to help the problem despite not having that much weight between them.
I don't use a strap at all, I always play sitting down.
I'd absolutely sacrifice microscopic subtlety of tone or sustain etc. to make it sit more comfortably like a Strat does for example.
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Looking at it has made me wonder if some kind of metal truss rod cover could provide the weight, or even put some kind of weight (like the aforementioned fishing weight) under the truss rod cover.
I remember being interested in a "string butler" but giving up because the guitar stays in tune pretty well anyway. I'd imagine they'd be intended to be as light as possible but wonder if they would add a significant amount of weight.
If there is any difference at all...
(In my opinion there is.)

I hope it goes on the back of the headstock rather than the front?
Do you happen to sell them?
But...
How much difference is necessary before it becomes noticeable to the player?
How much difference is necessary before it becomes audible to a listener?
I'm not sure that those are anywhere near the same.

I think that's what you're talking about, and I'm not saying you're wrong, I just never heard of this.
That Fender clamp thing is titchy, I'm sure B&Q could do a lot better for a fiver?
