Angle neck pocket vs non angle, need help

[mkibanez]

I would like to see a photo of the difference between an angle neck pocket on a strat (for a floyd rose) vs a non angle one? I don't know which one I'm going to choose and I never tried a strat with an angle pocket! Would I see the difference in the feeling of the guitar?

Thanks

You can't see/feel it. It's very slight. If you didn't know about it, you'd never realize it was there unless you needed it and didn't have it, or had it and didn't need it.

If you have a flat mount Floyd, it'll have the angled neck pocket, if it's recessed, it won't.  The Floyd angle is less than the Tune-o-Matic angle, if that's important to you. (IIRC TOM angle is 3 degrees, angled Floyd is 1.5)

I notice it - and it was one of the major features I was trying to account for in my 'sounds like a Gibson but plays like a Fender' project. The neck angle, and probably to a larger degree - the balance point (where the 12th fret falls when hanging from a strap) - I find makes my elbow dig into my side.
