The StingRay HT uses a TOM bridge, which I'd imagine would lead to the string saddles sitting much higher from the body than on a standard EMBB trem - if so, is the neck pocket angled back for better string alignment?

If anyone has a side-view picture, showing the neck connected to the body, and the angle of the strings, it'd be much appreciated.

Bump, have the same question, I have a Stingray RS. Looking at an HT. Is the neck on the HT at a different angle?

Also I have not had a TOM in 30 years. Is this one rough on the side of the hand with palm muting like I remember? Can you get the action down to ~ 1.5mm range with this thing?

I bought a new Sabre HT. Pickups were amazing. But it arrived with a defective switch which is kind of unforgivable at that price. I sent it back and won’t buy another but have my eye on a used ST HT for half as much $

Thx

I've looked at the side-on product photos from their respective webpages and tried to compare them. It's not easy to see what the differences are but I'd guess (and may be wrong) that it's either neck pocket depth or neck heel depth rather than angle.
