Well yesterday I got this SE Hollowbody II. Workmanship is flawless and plays and sounds great, but that's not what this thread is about.
After some playtime I noticed that I somehow felt an unfamiliar difference in the stringtension compared to my other PRS's.
At first I couldn't figure it out. I was more strat-like tension or feel than PRS-like. Not bad in any way but strange nonetheless. I took a couple of other PRS's for a spin to compare and yes there was a difference but still no clue. Bone nut? Smaller frets? Didn't make any sense because that shouldn't affect the tension.
After some more playing I suddenly noticed something strange about the headstock. It looked bigger than I am used to. Just to make sure I compared it to a couple of others, and yes it is larger. The tuners are also moved further away from the nut. So the stringtravel from the nut to the tuner is longer and the breakingangle behind the nut is is somewhat different. I'm pretty sure that causes the different feel. So if anybody wonders why this could be the answer Problem solved, so now I can get back to re-learn Deacon Blues
