Southpa Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 If you look at a side profile of a strat neck you will see that the headstock is stepped down from the fretboard by approx. 1/2". But it is still on the same plane as the fretboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_urr_A Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 And the neck angle has got nearly nothing to do with the headstock. Neck angle is the angle between the body and the neck, headstock angle is the angle between the neck and the headstock. (Yes, I know that's not very accurate, but I'm slightly tired now, so I won't bother finding proper planes between which those angles can be measured and then finding names for them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikbojerik Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Do you mean the angle of the top edge, where the tuning keys live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcousticSmash Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 oh ok thanks guys. I just wanted to make sure cause when i start working the neck I have to make the little curve where the fret board ends and the head stock begins. I know a lot of guitars used to have flat headstocks that were even with the fret board making the action high and i dont want that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
