What design parameters help PRS Guitars stay in tune?
The PRS nut material, headstock angle, machine head alignment and locking tuners are all designed to minimize string friction and aid tuning accuracy. The PRS nut is made of a low friction, self-lubricating material that is more durable than bone. The machine heads are aligned on the headstock so that each string passes straight through the nut without binding to one side and causing friction. In addition, the headstock angle is sharp enough to allow good transfer of vibration into the neck but shallow enough to avoid further string binding.
