Big headstock = Hendrix = cool

Big headstock = Malmsteen = ...? :oops:

The 3-point is said to be no problem as long as the neck pocket is done accurately. If it's too large, 4 screws are better for side stability ...

I think this guitar looks great and I want to hear clips with some Mothers Milks in it.

True, true but

Big headstock = Ritchie Blackmore, Ulrich Roth, Robin Trower = Gods.

I'll probably get it with the 70s one, maybe a rosewood board as well, because you can only get vintage tinted maple ones in 7.25" radius.

Really!!!!?? I played a 7.25 and thought, wow how does someone play this thing.

Then again I bought a bass recently and actually like it better than any of my six stringers as of late..... I'm probably not a good yardstick for cool at the moment :lol:

Yeah, I think so, all the ones on ebay and wd etc with tinted maple seem to be vintage specced. Shame, coz I think that lighter/untinted maple looks a bit cr@p/boring in comparison :( Mines 7.25 and its pretty hard to play, though I can manage, its not ideal. Gonna go try out some new strats tomorrow to see if its all strats that I find hard to play, or just ones with a narrow radius :P

That'd end up costing me at least £150 and thats without customs, for £190 Bob at Legra would make me a strat neck. I still might go for that option, but I think I really like MIM necks, need to play my mates again to be sure. Could always get a maple one and vintage tint it I guess..
