To achieve this, the whole body slopes away, downwards, and the neck\/fretboard joins the body at\u00a0about a 7 degree angle. The nut sits at about 20 degree angle in comparison with the body. I have studied what others have done and I guess Lace arrived at the 10.8 degree angle through some kind of trial and error, but I decided to be a little more agressive. The wrist does get a very comfortable position when &#8220;fretting&#8221; a barr\u00e9 cord. If I decreased the twist, it wouldn&#8217;t give quite the same effect. My main concern is the fretting out when bending downwards. Only a test will tell, I guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a couple of questions over at Project Guitar about the amount of twist of the neck and how the body\/bridge relates.
