I want to "smooth out" the edges on the guitar headstock, that it goes together with the neck. See pic.

Anyone know how to do this?neck_screen.jpg

So by smooth out, I'm assuming you mean to make the head flow into the neck. The way I would approach this is to offset 2 planes then use those to "cut" a chunk of the neck out with split body then deleting that chunk, and do a loft operation between the shortened neck and the head.

Do a quick forum search. There's roughly a gazillion examples of different ways to this EXACT thing already here.

Understandable that you wouldn't know the terms for the tools and processes yet.  I was thinking of a simpler search query, such as "guitar neck"
