Favourite looking headstock?

[ProgCorey]

I'm looking at designing a custom seven at the moment, and one thing that I'm stuck on is the design of the headstock.

I'm usually a fan of the reversed Jackson style headstock you see on superstrats and whatnot, but I haven't found a really nice looking seven version of one.

I'd like to see what you guys think. if you could post pics it would be even better

I know this thread sounds a little bit silly..but I think the headstock can really make or break the look of a guitar.

Always been a fan of reversed headstocks myself. ESP and Ibanez have the best in my opinion.

I know it probably makes me seem dull, but I'm still a big fan of the Strat headstock.

Or some of its variants, like the oversized '70s CBS headstocks...

Or the Washburn Nuno siggie headstocks...

Jackson Reversed is also my fav and a Reversed Ibanez 7 as well

Reversed Jackson-ish. And the lighter the better

This. My favorite by far. But if you use this HS, be prepared for everyone to tell you not to rip off BM.

Yeah those headstocks look pretty nice, but it doesn't suit the style I'm going for.

The guitar I can say looks closest to what I'm going for is this:

The whole Caparison 27-fret, with the Ibanez/jackson look of these Edwards, without the wanky fretboard inlays/bindings. And of course in 7 string haha

Blackmachine and Ibanez, both original and reversed.

Fav Reversed: Jackson Reversed 7

Fav Normal: Jackson 7

I am a little biased though

I came to this thread with this guitar and it's headstock in mind!

Also 70's strats, parker and PRS headstocks are awesome

My favorite headstocks are ones that look like this

I don't really like a headstock with all the tuners on one side... Although I don't think they are ugly, I just prefer the "standard" style headstock (I guess) with 3 on one side 3 on the other or whatever the amount of strings/pegs you have... However the only style I actually find kind of unattractive is the reverse headstock haha

Cockstock, BM stock, Ibby stock, 3+3 Ibby Fireman stock.

That's pretty nice right there...what's a bm? No, really, I've never seen/heard of that before

Fine taste, my friend. I guess now would be a good time to ask if anyone has any reversed-cockstocks? I've been wondering what that'd look like.
