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.

Yeah? I have removed the locks from two such axes, but I never had any problems with the tuning. In fact, I do think the string angles are much straighter on the Jackson pointy head than, say a Gibson 3+3 one. Like in your photo - the strings go almost straight compared to most 3+3's. And the fact it's tilted back only helps to remove tuning issues of normal flat strat headstocks.

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

Absolutely. I dunno how many variants there are though, but I think the largest/longest one goes a tad overboard. Kinda like the three towards NE in the picture...but those don't look bad in the pic...I think the Epiphone ones were even longer than those on some models, really pointy and long/big. I like the small one to NW best, not the all blunt ones but the still-pointy-but smaller ones. That's the type I wanted for the custom V neck I had made.

It was mainly on the highest two strings where the angle was the sharpest. It was also with a standard nut instead of an unlocked locking nut.

It's easier if I direct you to the site than to try and post pics.
This link wil bring you to a page on the Petros Guitar website where you'll see an example of some amazing inlay work on a fret board. Then click the link for 'Featured Guitars" and you'll be able to view a few of their incredible acoustic creations. They even hand carve the tuner buttons. I made a strap for a customer who ordered a custom Celtic model guitar. The guitar was insanely detailed and beautiful beyond description

Scratch that, it was actually the lowest two strings because the headstock was reverse-swept.

Yo, dude, Otay - woah . . . . .

Can you imagine being able to afford one of those; or receiving one as a present?

The Chinesse dude that made them must have been really great - woops! I mean . . . . Forget that, I slipped up.

That's not even funny. My apology.
