As a matter of fact a very significant new 5-string instrument that we will be releasing at Bass Player Live next month will have a 3+2 peghead...that's just what will work best for this new instrument...

The "standard" headstock shape for us on a 5-string has historically been 2+3. That said, in a completely custom shop there really is no standard...LOL!
Vinny, Joey and I personally prefer the 2+3 on aesthetic grounds mostly...we can get great function out of either.

Could it be a YYS 5-string?![]()
^^Awesome.Also, here's to hoping for that singlecut NYC. (Preferably light-weight.
).
Btw, does Fodera use quartersawn wood for their necks (NYC included)?

I hear ya, but a 3+2 headstock would be tough to get a 6'er from...![]()
