TheCross Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 òk. I thought about one of those big firebird headstocks for my baritone guitar... can I do them angled as well? or what would you suppose? btw. I'll take normal 6inline tuners not the fanzy madnolin style´thingys. too fancy n expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Yeah, it can be done. With an angled headstock, the strings all pull through the nut exactly as they would on a flat headstock, and just turn downward a bit. Any headstock you see flat can be done angled, and vice versa, the only difference being whether or not you need string trees to keep the strings down in the nut. I assume you're familiar with how to make an angled headstock, but if you aren't, just do a search for "scarf joints". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCross Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 The original firebird headstocks are in fact angled too woot? where to get plans from? I guess I'll go for a straight one then anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
