Favorite headstock shapes...

[sheepdog]

The discussions of the new SX headstock shapes plus my newfound love for my MTD got me thinking...

what are your favorite headstock shapes. Apparently that seems to matter more than what some of us (including myself) would care to admit.\

That's nice....

But this is nicer

 

[Punk Jazz]

Definitely Ricenbacker, Musicman and Fender.

 

[BurningSkies]

Without a doubt, Ken Smith. Awesome headstock.

Except that this is a Ken Lawrence bass.

I hate to be so typical, but Fender definitely won the Headstock lottery when they came up with that one. I've come around to loving the tele shape too, but it took me a long time.

ditto...

I used to hate it, but not I am gassing for a tele thinline inspired 5 string

 

[Sherwood]

Except that this is a Ken Lawrence bass.

Would you accept typo?

I totally meant Ken Lawrence. Ken Smiths are great, too, but no Ken Lawrence.

Sukop has some pretty awesome headstocks. I'm pretty fond of Benavente's too.

 

[Electra Player]

The Electra "Wave" (same kinda thing as Hofner Beatle Bass) and Phoenix headstocks.

 

[JazzyJames]

This is Vic's MTD taken from the USA MTD club for anyone who is wondering.

 

[Greevus]

Gibson Victory/Thunderbird is pretty rockin'.

I love Chris Stambaugh's headstock design. It looks great for a four, five, six string or even ERBs.

Smooth and elegant IMO.
