The headstock of the TM302HM features a straight-pull design, which allows the strings to come straight off the nut, thus eliminating the need for a string tree or a tilt-back design. The neck has a 12" (305mm) radius meaning it has a flatter than normal fretboard which enhances the player's ability to bend notes and allows for a lower action. The solid-body TM302M & TM302BM are similar except for the body construction.
