Franken PRS

That Dan Spitz headstock is not at all to my tastes :lol: (the body looks quite cute though...)

I've been wondering why the headstock doesn't work - is it maybe because the tuners are in a straight line rather than following the curve of the headstock? I can see how they'd be easier to use in a straight line (and possibly easier to get a set that would fit?), but wouldn't it look better with the pegs in a curve? (and without that big "PRS" like it is...)

or perhaps it's just an irredeemable abomination that the designer should have received a slap for before they started tooling up :lol:

Basically the latter!  They insisted on trying to "adapt " the standard 3-per-side PRS headstock rather than coming up with something different... and it simply DOES NOT WORK. 

Ultimately, I blame Danny Spitz for not putting up with the normal, beautifully designed, PRS headstock.  And speaking as a fellow short person, I bet he has trouble reaching the high E string tuner anyway!  :P


(By the way, I like those ESP and Ran camos  :) - it suits that kind of modern, black-hardware guitar)

I really like this headstock very very much. Like a morph of Ibanez and PRS.
The US inlays and body colors wanna make me puke though.
Aways subjective anyways, isn't it?

I don't like it. Then again I never really liked the Original FrankenStrat.

I didn't realise the Dan Spitz model had that headstock design. I agree the camo is very clever on the spalted maple.
I saw that in the flesh at The Astoria a few years back. He looks like he has been drawn by a cartoon artist these days.

I like the camo on the Dan Spitz model looks goood with the spalting and the fact thaat its not solid colours like the other one. I'm not a fan of solid colours i like to see the grain of the wood and i think it gives the guitar a more natural touch.
