1) Why did the factory cock the LKL at an angle?
2) Are there any other manufacturers who did (or still do) assemble their instruments as such? |

That’s a easy question ::: for comfort.
BMI steels are cocked also.
Can you imagine Buddy Emmons , Jimmy Day
Loyd, Curly Chalker , just too name a few.
I can’t imagine how Shot, David An Harry Jackson kept there sanity with all the good bad an ugly ideas they were ask too do.
I guess Shot an Buddy came too a crossroad on Buddy Emmons Ideas.
Can you imagine if Buddy an shot had Pursued the same goals building steels. |

My thought is mainly because your leg swings at an arc towards the left rear corner of the guitar. This way you hit the lever straight on. I wish they could have done this with the pot metal Super Pro. I broke 3 LKL knee lever brackets, and I believe it was from hitting that lever at an angle. None of the other levers that got activated pretty much straight on ever broke for me.
