I realize that I'm not as big on the whole "OMGZ NEEEDZZZ REVERSE HEADSTOX!!!" as many people here, but I actually don't think it would look very good with that headstock reversed.
You and me both. Same with Ibanez headstocks. I don't think that they're anywhere near as nice with reverse headstocks.
Jackson's look better reversed though!
I have always thought that certain headstocks look good either way... The Jackson being one, as it's part of it's signature looks. Same goes with the Fender Strat headstock, either the smaller or larger 70's style ones look rather cool for those guitars reversed. The ESP M/MH pointed head would be the same way, though I'm a much bigger fan of it non reversed - had too many that were reversed and after a while it drove me nuts. The one headstock I think should never be reversed is the Explorer headstock - it's what kills the GL kamikaze for me. IMHO, that's more of a cockstock than the older Horizon "teardrop" style headstock ever could and/or would be.
But this headstock reversed would be kinda like the old ESP Mirage . If they made it a little bit bigger on the cut side (opposite the tuners...) like the Mirage was I think it'd look sweet.
