Hot Lanta with comp tp ?

[garywright]

I have a pic saved of hot lanta in which it appears to have a compensated wrap in place of the typical correct smooth stop tp ...my question is, did it ?

Ok guys ..I found the one image that I had saved ( second down, guitar laying flat ) ...looking at that pic, to me it looked like the tp had a lower profile than typical and perhaps used to have more down pull when top wrapping ..errr, obviously I was wrong when looking at the other photos..must be just an illusion

The stop bar does appear to have been shaved down. Likely to give a little more angle since it is adjusted down to the body. Perhaps it was taken down a little more for the heavier strings to give them a bit more angle, making it look "compensated" in that photo. You have a good eye to catch that it was flattened!
