In making the headstock made a mistake somewhere along the line and ended up with an angle of 18 degrees oops_sign hope it won't matter too much

I've done several with a 30 degree scarf joint. No problems, you'll be fine.

Some of the best sounding Gibson guitars from yester-year had 17 degree pitch on the headstock. No one is complaining about the tone of those bursts!
