I have a Pono mhtsh love the slothead, just wondered if you thought the tone was different.
Some people might tell you that the string break angle at the nut from the slotted headstock will give you better tone. Yeaaaaahhhh I highly doubt that. There are dozens and dozens of factors that I would look at before looking at the headstock in terms of tone.
I think that is assuming alot.If it works for Aldrine, Jame, Eddie Vedder, Kalei, etc., I guess that there's not enough tone difference to, ahem, make a difference.
I asked Gordon Mayer about this last year. He said that some people believe that the slightly increased angle at which the strings bend at the nut with slotted headstocks makes the sound a little crisper, but he himself didn't think it made a noticable difference. For what it's worth, while Mya-Moe offers a slotted headstock, the standard headstock is not slotted.
