I've been playing this beauty almost every day for a few months now, probably about 30 minute sessions on average. I started to play some today but my fretting hand was giving me some not-so-good feelings when I was playing some bar chord heavy stuff so I decided to wait... This has been happening infrequently, and I had a pretty good session yesterday, so I figure I'm probably still recovering from that.
TIL about headless guitars.
What are the advantages of having all the tuning gizmos at the other end of the string?
Or rather, why is having them at the head typical?
Edit: I can actually search for things for my self: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headless_guitar
To address the common issue of "neck dive"—the tendency of bass guitars to tip forward due to their long, heavy necks...
And solid bodies:
...tuners in the bridge of an acoustic also would have severely dampened the resonance of the top, another issue rendered moot on a solidbody instrument...
