zandro Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 Whoa, 45 degree headstock angle? Yeesh! 17 degrees is the largest headstock angle I've ever heard of. Typical neck angle would be 2-4 degrees but could go up a little more, depending on your bridge height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 i hope that was a typo... most headstocks are 15-13 degrees and necks as i read in a recent thread can vary from 1-3 degress but also upwards of 7 degrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 You probably got the 45 from somebody talking about cutting an unusual scarf joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarfrenzy Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 I'm still waiting to see a guitar with a neck angle of 7. You guys might have built one like that but I've never seen one made by a manufacture have that much, correct me if I'm wrong but 7 deg is alot and closer to headstock angle which most are around 13 deg..If anyone has a picuture of a manufactured one with that much angle can you post the pics... Not saying that there isn't any with that much angle.. but just have never seen it before ..... please post.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
