The Ghost: v2 outline and scratchplate poll

string holes are nice, straight lined up ones look 'meh' i like the angle muchly.

Thank you muchly, BlueBuddha.

The curb of the holes is a mirror of the scratchplate inside edge.

(can you get the string retainers on the back of the guitar fully recessed?)

That'd be the way I'd like them too and I don't think it would add much to the cost.
The answer is then "yes".

The more string you have beyond the nut and behind the bridge, the more string you need to stretch to get a given pitch change. As it is you'll get easier bends on higher strings. This may be fine - it may even be desirable. It's just worth considering.

Thanks for the info, Sporky.

So in theory, the length between the tuner and through-hole should be equal for all the strings for them to have the same bending amplitude-to-pitch ratio, correct?

I guess having a 3+3 headstock does make the whole thing even harder to predict, and that's not even considering string gauges. (or does it not figure in the equation?)

That's not even considering string gauges or does it not figure in the equation?

It does!

Good luck

It does get rather complicated, but I do wonder how much it really matters.

Most likely I shouldn't have mentioned it at all.

Thanks, guitargeek62, I think I'm just going to ask Neil for his expertise regarding the distance between the through-holes and the bridge.
The curve of the holes will probably stay as it is.
(b'cause i likey)

No, you were right to mention it, but I've just decided that it doesn't matter (enough).

[Sporky_McGuffin]

That's probably a sensible reaction.

no- because the strings are different gauges and even made in different ways if comparing wound to un-wound... then they are tuned to different tensions across various different scale lengths

the best bet is to ignore it - which is what most guitar designers have done since time began... and they came up with some pretty good designs in that period

Thanks for the info, Wez (and for confirming my decision )

At first I was staring at it like 'wtf the images are the same' then I noticed the changes, and straight away liked A more.
