Head angle

Postby woodchuck30 » Sat May 29, 2010 9:02 am

Does any one know what the angle is on the head whear the M logo is? I'm guessing 7 degrees, probably wrong hard to tell from pics because of the camera angle. :?:

Hay
Danny, yeah I thought about what I said, and should have clairified what I ment. what I ment was when your looking at the guitar from the front, the angle of the head stock at the top whear the letter M is cut with the band saw. I have the rest thanks to your directions, they'll deffinately put you in the ball park for making the tenplets for the neck, I had no problems. :oops:

You should be able to measure the angle from this photo.

It appears to be 75 degrees, to me.

No, I look at it from cutting the head on a table saw, its easyer to cut a 15 degree angle than a 75. But I do like my glass 1/2 full. :lol: :lol: :lol:
