Peaghead Design

[gitCAD]

hi

I am seaking a smart goodlooking peaghead for a trem guitar

These questions I would like to ask

1. How bad is it for the "stay in tune" (friction) if the strings have an angle between

nut and maschines ? How much angle is no!! problem

2. Its too difficult to tell from just pics : How much angle do the PRS peaghead have

and how good do they actually stay in tune - are they better or worse from strats

3. What other peagheads besides the strat and the music man's do you know, that have

a straight through string to maschine ?

I have seen a couple of "weird" peagheads that fulfil this , but as I am more of a conservative and a non-metal (Klingone knife?!) person, I am not all to happy with those. I spent three days now on the computer but I cannot come up with a decent design.

I would have liked a 3L3R design, but with strings straight through "its impossible"

Thanks for any comment or direction

happy new year

If you add a locking nut most of the problems go away and you can go wild on the design (shape) of the actual headstock itself you still might have to add a string tree though to avoid and secondary harmonics ringing out from behind the nut.

I cannot use a locking nut since I will not have a fine tuning trem - I went for the

Music Man design now - but it turns the guitar instantly into a "Music Man"
