The stainless steel Atlas C-1 receiver component accommodates neck widths up to 50mm and break angles from 10 to 28 degrees. These design dimensions ensure that the Atlas C-1 will fit nearly every (3-on-3) style headstock design, as well as many other headstock configurations, depending on the tuning machine layout. The receiver is lined with a high-quality, soft yet extremely durable wool felt lining, guaranteeing many years of reliable, mar-free service.

The current average market price for a qualified luthier to perform a headstock re-glue and touch-up is $450.00.
