postal Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) Style of headstock wouldnt matter at all. *EXCEPT* A thinline style body tends to be very light, so it could be prone to neck dive.... keep the head small and use light weight tuners. I forgot- real thin line tops are either .200 or .250 thick- but as I said... I forgot. Basically 1/4" though. Much thinner and you risk the wood bending or sagging.
