    Already a strat one up there. Getting used to the tele headstock still, so here is a pretty one I am familiar with:

    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.

    I'm pretty much exactly the opposite, although the smaller strat headstocks are fine by me. To each their own

    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.

    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.

    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!
