ABSTRACT:
A compound headstock for use with a guitar-like instrument. The headstock has a major surface to which posts of a majority of the headmachines mounted on the headstock project. The headstock also preferably incudes first and second surfaces disposed at elevations different than the elevation of the major surface. Through the first and second surfaces are disposed the posts of headmachines associated with the lowest and highest tuned strings used on the guitar-like instrument. As such, the string associated with the lowest tuned note makes an angle with respect to the plane in which the strings set between a nut on the guitar-like instrument and a bridge on a guitar-like instrument which is much greater than the angles made for the majority of the strings. Similarly, the string associated with the highest tuned note makes an angle with respect to said plane which is much less than the angles associated with the stings associated with the majority of the headmachines.
