Why are some guitar necks angled?

Less pressure means less efficient transfer of string vibration (a lot of energy is lost to sting floppiness) and that's bad for tone. So, to keep a decently steep angle over it, the bridge is made quite tall. When the bridge is tall, the neck has to be angled backwards to allow a comfortable action.

What is correct neck angle acoustic guitar?

The neck should be angled such that the plane of the frets (with no relief) is, at the very *least*, at the same level as the top of the bridge in the centre (higher is better, but only up to a certain point). This allows low action (if necessary) while maintaining adequate string angle and torque on the soundboard.

Why are Les Paul neck angle?

There's nothing wrong with this guitar.

Its bridge has to be high because of the angle of the neck to the body. The optimum neck angle for a Les Paul is about 4°, but they vary between individual guitars from about 3° to 5°. This variation in angle is why the bridge and tailpiece need to be height-adjustable.
