<p>I don't discriminate the Fender type headstock, it's just I'm still a budding builder and haven't wrapped my head around the geometries yet. I will soon enough try it.</p>

<p>I do like to build from 24 inch to 24.5 inch scales, most times it's 24.25". Gives me flexible playability and a decent sustain.

For a high action guitar, I go 12° degrees for the headstock and for low action I go 15° degrees. I do this so the strings not too tight or too loose like a pair of jeans. But I like to draw a lot and will spend a month or two drafting and measuring before I cut into wood. So I'll plan it out first before finalizing what the end result will be. Sometimes, it's opposite.</p> Hello Ill Green ,

<p>and like taff say's the playebillety is allway's in the hands of the player , cause everyone has a differend feel to any instrument, thats why it is good to be abble to choose from differend builders. thank for your contribution to the Topic Gents !

Hi Ill Green, I think there may possibly be three, four, or more points to consider when analyzing the feel of the strings when played.<br />
<br />
*The use of and positioning of the strings trees, on a Fender-style peghead<br />
*The scale length of the guitar<br />
*The adjustability of the Gibson-style tailpiece gives varied string break angles<br />
*Through body, tremolo, and top-loading Fender-styled bridges, again different break angles<br />
*string gauge<br />
* And, last but maybe not least, the action height setting.<br />
<br />

Then again, as tone and the quality of it is in the ear of the listener, string feel may be in the hands of the player.<br />

<p>I never done a Leo Fender type headstock, mostly Gibson angled headstock.</p>
<p></p>
<p>For me, it does matter. A good angled headstock can give good string tension and adds more precision to the action of the strings. </p>
<p></p>
<p>For instance, when using a tuneomatic bridge, I find a 12° angle headstock and 2° to 3° angle in the neck pocket, gives me almost perfect playability. It's not too tight, not too loose, just right. For the Strat type bridges, I like the headstock angled at…</p>
