Kitarat: kitarakamat ›

Osittain varmasti!! Mutta edelleen väitän että jos kielen pituus kiintopisteiden välissä on käytännössä ~15% pidempi se vaikuttaa soitto- ja varsinkin venytystuntumaan, vaikkakaan niiden 15%:n osalta kieli ei tietenkään liiku venytettässä sivusuuntaan. Pitäisi plokata floikkakitarasta talla ja kokeilla.
 
Mä uskon tuohon satulalukollisen löysempään tuntumaan myös. Samalla kielisetillä straton kielet tuntuvat kireämmiltä kuin Ibanezin floikallisen, vaikka floikkatallaa vetäisi taaksepäin samalla kun venyttää kieltä. Tuohon asiaanhan liittyy "reverse headstock", josta on haasteltu esim näin:

Question:
 
Does a reverse headstock have any affect on tuning, intonation, etc? Are there any problems that can arise? Any benefits?
 
Answer:
 
With a 6- on- a- side peghead( Fender, Explorer) the peghead shape is reversed. Imagine a left handed guitar neck on a right handed body, or a righty on a lefty body. In most cases the tuners were not on top, but on the bottom side of the peghead. This feature probably came about from Hendrix and other lefties played righty guitars strung upside down.
 
In the 80's, the dominant manufacturers produced neck options like this with many pointy peghead styles (Kramer, Charvel, Jackson, etc,come to mind). These evolved from the Gibson Explorer peghead.
 
Tuning, tone, string tension and to a large extent intonation all stay the same. But the bending feel changes, some might say for the better. The longer the total string length, the more string there is to absorb the change in tension when stretched so the slower it changes pitch when bent. This is also a good thing for tuning stability as the amount the string rises sharp when first plucked is reduced as well. If you play hard or like to chug a long, you will recognize this problem.
 
I like the feel of the shorter total string length on the high E string as it makes the pitch change faster when I bend so that it is more similar to the G string. This effect is even more pronounced on a 3+3 headstock.
