Most steel string builders build to a 15 deg back angle for peghead. I assume a mando would be near the same I also assume classical builders use a little less say maybe 12-14 |

The Troughton's book show 16 degrees for a flat top mando. I guess 15 is also OK. |

Hey Jon, I just checked Siminoff's book. His are one piece but the angle is 13 degrees, 15 will probably work ![]() Shane |
