Psalm Mutes End Wars
I've been looking for a way to have higher tension on the lower strings of my guitars, since I was a little disappointed by the 26.5" scale of my Schecter 8 string. I know that one solution is a much longer scale length, but I really like the feel of 25.5-26.5 necks, and anything much out of that feels a little odd. Some people suggest fanned frets are a solution, as you get a longer scale length on the lower strings.
But surely, if you just want another few inches of string to increase the tension, a reverse headstock would do the same? I mean, it's not like the string isn't under tension beyond the nut, so that would increase the string length by a good few inches.
Am I right? Or have I missed something?![ugh :ugh: :ugh:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/ugh.gif)
