If you angle the neck backwards and your fingerboard is uniform thickness, then you are likely to buzz from the first fret - the pull of the strings may compensate.
I've played many baroque guitars where the neck angle definitely affects the action, same with classical guitars. James -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
