| | | | I've always liked the Jackson models. Could come in handy to stab an unruly person in the neck!

That being said, nothing beats, in my opinion, a Fender headstock that matches the body color.  |

| | | | It has to be the Fender Precision headstock. Just love the massive chrome tuners.

| | | | I like my Warwick $$ the best. But someone above just remimded me of a gig way back in '89. I was playing a BC.Rich Warlock and the singer jumped on my back during the encore and I planted that sharp ass head stock right between my eyes...still got a scar there. Made for a cool bloody ending to the show though!

|  | Registered User | | | | | Hard as hell to think of a prettier headstock (at very least among those I've owned) than an Alembic Crown headstock (cocobolo veneer over maple and mahogany) with an inlaid gold and abalone Alembic logo (click the pic open - it's worth it): |
