RG headstock:

notice the low-E string slack is short, and the hi-E string slack is long.
(slack, as in, the length of string from the nut to the tunning peg. Some pple do play there, for fun.)

here, the low-E string slack is long, and the hi-E string slack is short.

RGR headstock is not just about a reverse design, the overall string dynamics is also different okay... :lol:

Sub, in other words, BUY BUY BUY. Purchase further justified. 8)

 

[edder]

are these with locking nuts?

if you're locking the strings at the nut, i don't think ANY headstock config will make a difference.

 

[Cloudsky]

That reverse headstock with fixed bridge is MAJOR GAS FOR ME!!!!!!!!!! 8O 8O 8O

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

its all about the tone and the pointy headstock! Djung djung!

 

[edder]

absolutely. locking nuts on reverse headstock... its all about the looks!

 

[ShredCow]

My USACG neck is reverse. And its for a floyd rose equipped guitar.

Uh.

Yes... no diff in feel lah.. its locked @ the nut... it just looks cool.

 

[edder]

thank you shreddy for comfirming this!

 

[edo83]

i is go au naturale, reverse headstock with tusq nut. it's all about tone! oh wait is it from fingers?

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

confirmed not finger. I have been trying, but so far hard to hoax the sound of endless delay riding on the wave of long reverb decay that goes right in on the audio input which in turn send a spike of control voltage to act as carrier in of a ring mod.

i have been cheated on it, whoever told me tone is in the finger. Screw them

 

[edo83]

u tried digging yet? maybe touch the strings not enough, takes more effort to get your desired tone they say :x

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

my fingering quite bad. If dig in too hard, it will act as compressor. I need to send my finger to edder for his "huat ah huat ah" mod first

 

[edder]

edo with eau de naturale... a reverse headstock makes a difference!

 

[Guest]

RG321 and RGR321 are not using locking nuts. Perhaps my string dynamics theory still applies for these two? :wink:

 

[edo83]

sqoobs: yup, it'll apply for those without locking nuts

 

[subversion]

to me there's nothing superior/ inferior about a reverse headstock, the guitar itself must sound good, otherwise, no use buying...
