Neck Through Body Construction ?

[tterb]

Minus headstock angle,does a neck through body guitar traditionally have a flat neck going all the way through the body on the same plane or is it angled.How about basses?Does it only depend on just the height of your bridge?How does the angle or lack thereof of your neck effect tone?The reason being I just started building neck through 335 style only to just now realize that the neck on a 335 is angled at 4 degree?I can see how I can fix my problem by altering my finished neck but what about scooping out part of the body so that the bridge sets lower? Do I not want to do this?What am I missing hear?Thanks

You can honestly design it any way you want. The factors are string height off the body and as you mentioned the bridge height. So as the bridge gets higher, to compensate for the increased height of the strings angeling the neck backward is preferred.

And no has no effect on anything except whether your guitar strings will be at a comfortable height off he body
