With the coil whatever distance from the plate I want (usually about 1/8") I want the wire to take off in a slight upward direction toward the front bearing point - enough to encourage a tight coil, but not enough to allow the wire to wrap over the bottom coil. This pin angle is sometimes less than the original. Theoretically it could vary from one section to another, but practically, I haven't noticed it to be necessary, at least on the limited number of makes I restring. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough. Another good idea is to make sure lowering the angle will not cause the tuning lever to whonk on capos or plate struts. Some are taller than others.
