Lovely headstocks
« on: November 13, 2012, 07:41:45 PM »
I've always really liked the Musicman Sabre headstock shape:


Anyone else got a favourite? Esoteric is good!

For me it's got to be the Gibson Custom Shop headstock (with the diamond) or the Blackmachine headstocks. I also really like the Ibanez headstocks.

Not sure it's my favourite, I'll have to think about that, but I do like the modern Ernie Ball/Music Man headstock.  Vert tidy and compact.

I like the Peavey headstock with 3 on each side, I never really got the point of 4 on top and 2 on the bottom with some of the Musicman and EVH guitars.

Here's the Brian Moore, Dave:




Another one I quite like - the Ibanez Talman.  Another neat way of getting near-straight string pull over the nut (quite similar to the old Dan Armstrong guitars, I think):

thanks- that's not quite as nice as i remembered, maybe i was thinking of something else :lol:

Oh, and by the way- I can't speak for afghan dave but i had a good laugh at your thread in seconds out. :lol:

Good luck with the sale, that tele body and exotic (?) wood tele neck looked very nice (but they'd stay under my bed longer than yours before i got round to making anything out of them :lol: )

yeah, i like the talman


i really have a soft spot for this old teisco design


but generally anything in that style - some more odern versions that are a similar idea but less quirky:





I have also been rather influenced by this for my 3 a side shape.   did not realise how much at first
