Acoustic guitar nut carving= what should the "ramp" look like?
I've seen Mr. Erlewine and many others , refer to it, the ramp on the headstock side, but I'm having trouble visualizing it. I'm fairly confident about my results on the fretboard side , but this "ramp" eludes me. Can someone post a diagram of that , side profile , or actual close up photo? So I can see the angle of the ramp? And yes Ive searched and read , ad nauseam. Here's the thing. I'm a *******. Thank y'all. TR

Here's the general idea of the geometry for a proper nut slot ramp.

There are other ways of doing it too. Some like to have the back of the nut curve up to almost a point where the strings make contact with the saddle. I like to angle the slots towards the tuning posts but it's really more of an aesthetic.
