Location: South of most, North of few | Most here know how I feel about slot heads. There is no real difference in changing strings, you just have to turn your thinking around 90 deg. As far as sound from a greater break angle over the nut, I never have noticed much difference as it's hard to find another guitar with the same design (except for the headstock) to do an A B comparo. There's a lot of other factors involved too, including headstock mass. Most of the guitars with great sustain that I have encountered have slotted headstocks. (the UTE, 1680, 1114, and even the Martin CE0-5) I just like the way they look, classic. |
