for fun/funny/beer/money: i thought i'd get some POV's from TB members! this is an allen eden paddle neck: 34" scale, jazz/nut (1.5) spec. it will (should) eventually go onto a fender p-lyte body. i will have to marry the neck and body (heel/neck pocket) with some wizardry, but i intend to use the cheap neck ($65) and the old body i have (currently unused) to get a gig-worthy instrument... i've been downloading templates, but as the neck arrived today, i'm thinking that this is a perfect place to get current opinions. i'm looking for both worthless and priceless opinions... and maybe even some creative ones, too. pics of the 4-string neck/headstock: {} {} anyway: i'd like your responses to the age-old question: "what is the best headstock shape?" if i use your headstock shape suggestion = i will send you a case of fine mexican beer (tecate!) for your sipping pleasure (or monetary equivalent, i.e. $20 USD --- this is the fine print: read carefully)! thanks in advance for your thoughtful attention! jim i didn't see anything in the rules forbidding this thread, but if it's not allowed, i will assume that it will be properly dispatched. my apologies a priori that possibility. i will dispose of the beer in my own way.
i like that one just because it's smaller than some. i have 2+2's and 4 in line, both. hadn't thought about a preference for this one yet. probably 2+2 to 'get small'.
...was at the Musicgoround in St. Louis last month and they and a Turser with a headstock shaped like.....uhhh..... Phallic would be the appropriate word I guess LOL
is there enough wood on that paddle to do it justice? i haven't ruled it out, but i've already got that one among my instruments --- thought i'd look at options!
I've always been a fan of the bombastic look of the fender headstock. It's based off the look of an upright bass by the way: {} {}
Here are my official entries: For a more traditional look: an inverted telecaster style {} For a more modern look: an inverted round style: {}
Old and beat up but it will be brought back to life soon. 1970 Gibson EB-0 slotted headstock with banjo style reverse tuning keys. Gibson only manufactured slotted headstocks for two years, 70-71. I always loved the look. {}
