Wow, those guitars are lovely.

And yeah, those headstocks look amazing. Really original, although i'm not sure if the novelty of it would wear off.

I must admit I was surprised to see it was Tyler you were going on about!

I quite like the headstock myself, but most people seem to hate it.

Probably liked only by guitar players if at all.

Cannot explain why, but I loved it from first sight. And then it fullfills a purpose I guess by adding more mass to the neck.

Ah, but is more mass a good thing?  There seem to have been endless discussions about lightweight vintage tuners vs. heavyweight cast tuners, etc etc...

I think more mass in the sense of a fatter neck is good, but does that also apply to a skinny neck with a big headstock?  I don't know.

I never, ever, ever thought I'd say this, but I'm with badger on this one :)

Is is just me or do Tylers just look like a corrupted MS Paint picture of a Strat?

i love the finishes on Tylers, and everyone that's played them seems to rave about how good the necks are, but i just can't get past the sheer hideousness of that headstock!  what demented fool ever thought that was an aesthetically pleasing alternative to the Fender?  yes, it's distinctive, but only because no one else would be daft enough to use anything like it!

sorry Hunter, only my opinion ;)

I'm not sure what I dislike more, the unbalanced headstock shape or the hideous logo  :?

I'm not fussed either way about the headstock but I really like the finish on those multi coloured guitars..... wonder how they do that??

Never played one, so I've no idea if I like it or not. Some of the bodies kind of remind me of those swirl JEMs they used to make, but only more muted.
