Why not? If it is gonna have a locking nut, it is a no brainer.

Reversed

Non reversed

 

[droptrd]

Reversed for sure

 

[Strat+Marshall]

I think reversed looks better with the body shape.

cheers guys!

So do i after that mockup

choose the shape that best fits your needs and style

to be honest ive always loved reverse headstocks because they are easier to tune with the tuning keys facing downwards. the ESP i orded 8 months ago has a reverse headstock.

really depends on the guitar and color to me - with the color black and the pics you posted i actually prefer it with the headstock down or up

cheers.

yeah i like looks but also good to ask everyone as well and see what they think.

its not actually gonna be black.

will have maple headstock and matching paint job... guess i should have mocked that up also!

I think the standard (non reversed) headstock looks better....

to my eye it looks more symmetrical
