I tried to bond with an Epiphone 60’s T-Bird a few years back. Neck dive drove me nuts. I got so many comments on how large the headstock was. It’s like comically big. Great for smacking bandmates on stage when they get out of line.

Big Head?

I have an Epi Vintage Pro. The headstock is definitely a bit larger (than a kola nut 
) than usual. The bass doesn't fit in a standard Epi T-bird hard case.

Thunderbirds are known for their flight patterns. They dive towards the ground like no other. Why must they dive the way they do? The answer, of course, is their overly large heads and long necks.
David Attenborough needs to narrate a Planet Earth episode on National Geographic about the Thunderbird and its cousin the Firebird. Just so he can make the world more aware of these majestic creatures.
Big ol headstock there. Dad just got a sparkly blue one and if you strum the strings between the nut and the tuning machines it makes the most beautiful sound. Like a little harp.
You’re missing a little bit of something there buddy. You better get it checked out by a luthier.
