Is there a specific front leg angle that is used on steel guitars?

Dennis,

My research and checking Sho~Bud endplates shows about 11-12 degrees both front and rear.

Thanks Donnie. Seems like 10 degrees is standard. I'm not at home but will check the angles on my MSA this week. I'm planning a leg mount pedal board. I may configure an adjustable mount. Tossing around ideas.
