Yes, but 10, 11 or 12 degrees is VERY little, or as Estebanana says in another post that its the minimum. Its just so typical foro and internet thing to say that something has to be THIS way. (10 -12 degrees breakangle over saddle in this case) It makes it sound that guitars with more breakangle are wrong and thats not true, so I´m glad that Estebanana corrected himself. And I agree with what he wrote in his second post. All my guitars have more than 12 degrees. 25 or 30 degrees is not affecting the sound and the position of the sadlle in a negative way. Here I talk about new guitars. Because normally the neck settles a bit, and the holes in the tie block get worn, meaning that sadlle height will be less and thus breakangle will be lower as well. 10 degrees on a new guitar is very flat and with age you can easily end up with problems from the strings moving to much over the saddle and loosing volume and projection. Deterresa: Your breakangle is not to bad. Another thing is that 10mm setup height is a lot for many players including myself. But on the other hand, I also know players who dont care. Besides, with time, you might lower the saddle 0,5 - 1mm and the stringhole will get worn a bit and you´ll end up with a very good breakangle and a better stringheight. Not to bad for a first guitar. Also, I havent seen your fingerboard and it might be possible to shave it a bit, making it thinner at the soundhole compared with the nut and this way you might be able to lower string height some 1 - 1,5mm.
