Neck angle

[Dansk_84]

Does anybody know what a good angle is the neck when using a floyd rose tremelo?

A 2 degree tilt is pretty much standard.

There is a diagram in the Melvin Hiscock book - How to build an electric guitar - that helps you calculate neck angle. Assuming a std angle for all guitars is kind of dangerous. It is dependent on 3 factors: 1. fretboard thickness and fret height 2. At what point the neck intersects the body 3. bridge height off the face of the body

If you don't have the book (Assuming don't) it is worth the $20 to understand how these variables yield the neck angle and to be able to calculate this for yourself.
