tmock -> angle of string pull (Oct. 31 2006 16:48:38)
|
A few of the posts in the "Two naked blond babes..." thread reminded me of a question I have regarding the angle of string pull at the nut. If I wind all of my strings to the outside a roughly equal number of turns, the E strings end up with a straight pull from the roller to the nut, while the inside four strings pull at an angle toward the center of the nut (left to right for the A and D strings, right to left for the G and B strings). By winding the strings differently, I can either create a straight pull for all strings or an angle for all (although that angle is to the outside for the E strings and to the inside for the rest). Do these angles have any effect on tone, sustain, string tension, or tuning stability? Thanks, Travis.
