Wondering about something... for ideal playability, shouldn't the drop-off start at the 13th fret, as opposed to the 15th, on a 14-fret-to-neck guitar? Just trying to work out some of the (very) finer details... Thanks for any thoughts, experience, Ken |

no I don't really like to see a drop off. I want a straight neck prior to adjusting for relief. As you go higher up the neck the string length gets shorter thus the intonation tolerance is even tighter. |

Hi Ken, I think of the "drop off" as being there to compensate for the neck (or body)pulling up a little bit over time. I would only add it to the fingerboard over the body. |
