Headstock Shapes

[NTdot]

Reverend Fellowship, kind of a distinct shape as well as being a reverse headstock.

Always thought the headstock was the most distinctive and alluring element of the instrument!

Agreed. It's also where a woeful number of instrument designers come up short...especially in the allure department.

I always thought Brian Moore headstocks were way cool:

And here is my prototype viola bass headstock:

I usually dig headtocks with tuners on both sides as well, at least for 5 and up. I tend to prefer 4 stringers all on one side, but I'm cool with them either way. Headstocks can make it or break it for me on the whole look. Sexy bodies need sexy heads too!
Here's my Conklin.
