Is the best place to set the neck hight..in relation to the head hight?
Mostly..I have seen the neck slightly above or even to the head hight..
While I am at it what about the neck angle in this relationship?
I know that 2° to 3° is the norm..
Thankyou.
The higher the neck is, the more room you have between the strings and the head for pick clearance. I set mine about the thickness of the fingerboard above level. Neck angle is then adjusted depending on bridge height and desired string height above frets.
Level with the head and 5 degree neck angle on an eleven inch pot is fairly standard these days
