Location: Hicksville, NY | ok ... this may be a dumb inquiry, but I really am curious. So here's the question ...
Other than its distinct characteristics (by sight alone), what's the difference between a slothead and a peg head in a guitar's headstock?
In the past, I've only known slotheads being widely used in nylon stringed guitars, and the pegheads for steel strings. Lately, however, I also noticed slotheads with steel strings. Is there a difference with regards to sound and tone? string/neck tension? anything? or is it just for aesthetic purposes?
Your answer(s) to the inquiry will be greatly appreciated.
Peace!
