I will own one of those someday. Why does it seem like many of the 5 str with crown heads have three tuners on the bottom? I mean, I'm sure I'd get used to it an all, but I always thought that was a little strange.... | ||

IIRC the reason behind the 2+3 crown headstock is that the B string on the tuner peg can get in the way of the E string in the 3+2 configuration. [Edit:]More likely the E string getting in the way of the A string, but I digress.[/edit] Not sure if it was to do with the interim Goto tuners that had the different "ears" and a wider peg.

I spoke to Jimmy Johnson about this and the main reason he went with the 2 over 3 layout is so that the B string has a straight pull from the nut to the tuner. Looking at my signature headstock I can see his point...  Graeme | ||
