Ok all you "tech-heads". Don't have a camera so I can't take a picture to show you.

I keep noticing everyone talking about set-ups , truss rod adjustments etc. I personally have never had one done or really wanted to find out the difference until recently. Any fret buzz problems I had I would either raise the tuneomatic bridge, or use the piece of paper in the nut fix.

But I noticed recently that where the Neck and the Body meet on my Epi LP SPEC II meet/are joined there seems to be something off.

If I look at the line of the "wood" of the fret board and line of the "top" of my body they are not paralell.

Now instead of it being paralell (like my crappy use you imagination picture shows) it is not parralel. It actually slopes towards the head stock. And I'm not talking minor but a noticable difference.

My question is-- is it normal to have a sloped pitch where the neck and body meet or should it be closer to parralel?

Or is this different for each type of guitar?

Start styles are this way, LP styles are this way, sg styles etc.
