I read many luthiers talk about planing a new angle in to the fingerboard but it can cause complications, as the break angle of the headstock changes drastically. I recently used that method just to gain a bit of insight, but had to both reduce the thickness of the headstock plate, and extend the headstock routing by about an inch, in order to accommodate the new string path afterwards, so it can be a lot more trouble than it's worth. Afterwards, the neck is weaker, even if it's straighter, and the fingerboard can take a long time to settle,, so not much point trying to level off for at least a few weeks. I'm not set up yet for routing out a channel for a fibre rod, on a neck still attached to a body, so need to figure something out for that, be it a jig etc. Mostly I've been using heat, and a bit of fretwork to remove relief, as it keeps everything original. Any thoughts on the above points?
