Help me with my headstock?

[Elysian]

the left is the new idea, the right is the old one, just slight tweaking mainly, but i shortened the overall headstock and slightly increased the angle of the point, but only very slightly... what do you guys think? any suggestions? i don't want a boat oar for a 7 inline headstock

 

[Seedawakener]

wooow... man those are really sweet. I love them both but if I had to choose it would be the left one... man Im so impressed, these are probably the nicest headstocks Ive seen. I really mean it!

 

[Elysian]

well, i've already done the one on the right, on the superstrat i built... it just looks kind of off to me when actually on a guitar, seems too big...

 

[Seedawakener]

It doesnt look like like the sketch at all.. :S

 

[Elysian]

howso? its identical to the sketch, i literally traced the same piece of paper on the scan onto the ebony headcap then shaped it...

maybe its the tuners that make it look different...

 

[Seedawakener]

well, somehow it looks different on the sketch... cant put my finger on it but its maybe as you said: "it just looks kind of off to me when actually on a guitar, seems too big..."

I find the thinnest part of the headstock is too thin in proportion to the widest part. Either pull the bass-side midpoint in, or make the tip thicker.

Man, that's jusst beautiful. Hey let me ask you a question, does the shape of the headstock affect the tone of a guitar at all?

The scoop at the top looks too deep imo.

It dosn't appear smooth and fluid like a nice "swoosh" something seems a little off. Like the curve is coming to an end and then goes off on a sharper degree of an angle.

I think that might be the camera angle making it look that way to me though.

On the headstock you used on the superstrat that is.

I prefer the new headstock design where the point has more meat to it and the curve isn't as long.

Weird, I can see them just fine and I'm usually the one who cannot.

I like the one on the left better, but they are both pretty sweet.

I still prefer the headstock on your other seven, though.
