Favourite looking headstock?

[Stealthdjentstic]

Can't beat Vik's headstock

 

[TRENCHLORD]

^ This is unique as all hell, as are the VIK body shapes I've seen on here.

they may have been near the bottom of the barrel in terms of older BC riches but i love the way the old platinum series head-stocks look.

Yeah it's the little details in his work that impress me most. Like shit you'd never think of doing that gives his work that extra bit of class and modern feel to it.

Another Devil's Tail vote. Looks best with gold hardware to me

Here's my favorite as of late:

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

You sneaky bastard you. I'm also really digging the headless stuff as well, which IMO Ola has done flawlessly. It doesn't look out of place like other headless designs I've seen before, you know? Like it should not have a headstock.

Also...

 

[CapinCripes]

also maybe the 12 string Carvin head-stock for pure ridiculousness.

Thing is so ridiculous it looks 'shopped. I don't know what carvin was thinking, but I'm glad they thought it so I could see it.

Not even joking.

I hate it. They ruined an otherwise awesome looking Virgin bass with it:

It should have the fucking widow headstock.

Right there with you bud.

Not even joking.

My build thread sense is tingling.

 

[JStraitiff]

my favorite by far is the music man jp/axis 4:2 or 5:2.

I also think the floyd rose headstocks are pretty unique.

Might be interesting to go with 4:2 on this style.

KxK, ibanez, black machine and reversed carvin (4+3).

 

[Pikka Bird]

I always thought the BC Rich evil headstock looked like you're supposed to rest your balls in it...

Will Stinnett made something that, IMO, is a huge improvement to the Blackmachine headstock:

I know lots of you will disagree, but the one thing that doesn't sit well with me regarding Blackmachines is the headstock and the way it grows steadily larger towards the end. This one (to me) looks a lot more balanced without looking like a totally shameless rip.

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

^ Yeah I agree. Seeing as Blackmachines have headstocks comparable to a Parker I wouldn't call it a rip off.

 

[ibanezRG1527]

Godlike. And this is coming from a die-hard Ibanez player.

(Thanks Eaeolian )

 

[shadscbr]

I love the Artinger slotted headstock

This particular headstock isn't mine, but it's sweet...Matt & I have a 7 string version in the works

Not even joking.

Best headstock is no headstock.
