Tilt

Here's something to note; the guitars you see above are my Schecters, Omen 8 (left) & 7 (right). The neck fitting of the 8 is a leveled fitting, meaning, it sits rather flat/ flushed against the neck pocket surface of the body. We can tell because by looking at the maple between the body & fretboard materials, we observe a straight line.

This is not the case with the 7 & as you can observe from the pic, it looks inclined. Do not be alarmed because the 7 sports a tune-o-matic type bridge so the strings incline down from the bridge saddles towards the nut. The neck has to conform to this inclination, otherwise, we cannot obtain a uniform action along the neck length. I'm sharing this here because there are some wise cracks in the shops who claimed that this is a sign of poor fitting but it's definitely not so. I just feel that some old people tend to say too much & they expect us younger dweebs to believe without much questioning.
