Hi all. Can anyone tell me the headstock angle on a Power Jet?
I'm guessing it would the same as a Duo Jet. I haven't been
able to find this spec by googling.
Thanks for any help.

its 165 degrees mate so if you held the neck upside down and imagined the flat part of the neck (the bit that the fingerboard is attached to) is your straight line the headstock comes off at 165 degrees pm me your email addy and ill send you a pic that explains it

I think most folks would call that a 15 degree layback.

that would probably be easier to understand :D but the above method is how i worked it out for my build using a trusty protractor

Since 165 + 15 = 180, you're both right ;)

Sounds like back in my days when reading about photographic formats that were 8x10 (US) and 10x8 (UK)...

beatnik, thanks a lot for the answer, and for the kind offer of
pics. I don't think I'll need the pics -- I have a bunch already --
but nothing that I could use to measure that angle accurately.
Thanks again!
