Just to change the direction here as it seems to have degenerated to wise cracks and slams, keyhead length for me is not about string breakage or tension or the science of 6th grade lab experiments. To me it is about overtones and the effect they have on the true tone of the guitar.

I have had string breaking guitars before, witnessed them, seen them returned to the manufacturer, traded them off, and never once gave a thought about the "science" that caused it to break the string. Probably because I didn't REALLY care about that.

As a customer once told me as I was trying to re-position the blame assosciated with a failure our company experienced. ( actually the customer themselves created the situation ) " I DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR LABOR PAINS.....I JUST WANT TO SEE THE BABY"

So, if I were building a guitar I would care, but since I play a guitar, "I JUST WANT TO SEE THE BABY"
