They'll find a way; somehow they always find a way.It's upside down-proof!

With regard to the M85 TRC discussed elsewhere, any comments? This is clearly cut to mimic the headstock and oriented properly but it sort of looks like the end by the nut mirrors the traditional headstock.
Anybody besides me notice the TRC in post #16 is triangular?
thought those were designed like that to accommodate the lock nuts...or not.
They were designed for "parallel" headstocks!
OK ya got me. What's a parallel headstock?
My guess would be one with no break angle. The X73 has a pretty severe angle in relation to the fretboard, while the S70 one shown is more or less parallel to the fretboard.
Aha! Thus the "retaining locks" next to the nut.
And it looks like French's X-79 has those.
So (what Jane meant, I think) they must have needed to use something thin enough to fit under the reduced string clearance?
Dang I'm learning something.The lock by the nut is for the Kahler to make it double-locking for tuning stability

you can always add string trees...like on a strat.
