Headstock Shapes

[JIO]

I'm not adverse to chatty, I was just confused by your post.

Seems to be exactly that, guess I'm messing it up by being chatty. I do believe you'll do well with that.

You? Chatty? Never! You hardly even post!

The idea of this thread was not for people to not be chatty, but to try and keep images limited to headstocks only, that way it would be easier to find a specific headstock shape by simply skimming the thread.

One thing though, please leave at least a name and/or model of the headstock you post.

Thanks to everyone for the input so far!

Sorry, I tend towards the obtuse. I really like how that came out (wasn't sure I would from the early pics), would love to hear it with those Delanos. I'll shut up now unless I have more headstocks to post.

LOL!

Self-explanatory, but:

Gold Tone banjo bass (fretless lefty converted to righty, Wayne said something on the order of "that thing should have devil's horns").

Shakin' the dust off this thread with some hs love -

Late 80's Saunders (boutique builder) P-style neck. (nice) Story has it they were made in the newly formed FCS for his 'start-up' that didn't pan out.

I don't recall seeing a vintage T-bird hs posted yet (other than Marks purple-people-eater!)
