What are the pros and cons of flat headstocks (Fender style) and angled ones (Gibson style)? I know flat heads require string retainers or whatever to help with string tension, or something like that...anything else?

Re: Neck question...
in my opinion, if you take care of your gear and dont DROP it, there's no need for a flat headstock. They suck, IMHO, b/c the string trees can screw up the tuning job sometimes, if not ALL the time, and they dont allow for very much stability• EBMM JPX BFR (Crunch Lab/Liquifire)

LOL, JJ's got it right. I've never done or seen a headstock repair on a strat or tele. Although I've done several gibson repairs, and seen more than I have the fingers to count 'em on.This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections. - St. Augustine of HippoComment

Re: Neck question...
with the strings going in a straight line from bridge to tuner it causes less strings to break.Comment
