The technical explanations on why it works well do make sense. However, it looks like the 1st and 6th strings make a pretty abrupt turn down at the nut. No problems with that? |
Are you ESSBA?
Open headstocks, like slotted headstocks, exist to create anxiety in people who are extra-sensitive to string break angles (ESSBA). Those who are ESSBA can certainly hear the difference in the strings with the three different break angles.
Just kidding. I like the traditional (Martin-like) slotted or solid headstock design despite the fact that it forces strings to veer out of line and notwithstanding my 40 years of engineering practice.
