Already a strat one up there. Getting used to the tele headstock still, so here is a pretty one I am familiar with:
Also this. Simple, but beautiful in a shaker/craftsman kinda way.

Tig, the flame in the tele headstock in that Shadco picture is pure beauty. Someone knew how to produce a nice neck there. I have an affinity neck that is close to being equal in quality to that.

The Sheraton/Sheraton II's 'vine of life' makes this one:
Then there's this brilliant, practical 12-string headstock:
I think the most beautiful aspect of this one is the phrase under the G&L that's integral to the logo:
Not just because she's my forever & always #1, but since it's the first ever Stratocaster that didn't say 'Stratocaster' on it someplace, and there's never been another Fender Stratocaster since with its common nickname as its model name, as the first stock-factory-hot-rodded model after 25 years of no such revolutionary animal that lead to what's dizzyingly if not annoyingly commonplace today, ...I'd say this is a thing of beauty:

I guess I'm a headstock conservative. I hate thin or pointy headstocks. It's basically why I didn't even try a Jackson when I got my guitar.
Regular Fretter
I'm pretty much exactly the opposite, although the smaller strat headstocks are fine by me. To each their own
Valar Morghulis
All excellent choices, wingsdad! I have always marveled at the perfect engineering of the Ric 12-string headstock.
That is the best looking Epiphone headstock I've ever seen, too.
Reverend Rawk
I prefer the maple version, groverj3.
With my Charvel, I found that the pointy headstock contributed to some tuning problems due to the angles of the strings. With a locking nut, it's irrelevant. I like it. It's the iconic metal headstock look.
Axen: Jackson DK2M, Fender Deluxe Nashville Telecaster, Reverend Warhawk 390, Taylor 914ce, ESP LTD Surveyor-414
Amphen: Jet City JCA22H and JCA12S cab, Carvin X-60 combo, Acoustic B20

I may get some disagreement on this, but I think the Flying V has a great headstock:

I always like the V headstocks. They were an appropriate match for that guitar.

On a true Gibby Flying V it is just right!

If someone can fix this for me thanks.
