So, the boutiques lately been booming, but they all trying to stay as close to the classic strat (super strat) and LP shapes, accept for the headstocks.
There is an argument that Suhr and Anderson headstocks may be a bit of an 'acquired taste' but than there is a James Tyler....If I didn't know Tylers were in the Suhr/TA/Mayones realm I'd never even look at it twice. It just absolutely does nothing to me. There is also Rocketfire headstocks that could be questionable...
I think the LP shape headstock is done by Hartung's Embrace very uniquely and I guess could look awesome (depending on the angle), or for some they may not do much.
Well, than there is KL which has the most badass headstocks.
Which one is the fugliest of the super awesome guitars we love?

I don't mean to offend but the James Tyler is just throw up in mouth.
 
The Tyler headstock has caused me never to give his guitars any consideration. It's that ugly to me.
 
They could be the best playing and sound guitars, and do my taxes, I'd still never use a Tyler.
 
Man I love the Tyler headstock...

Carvin has some of the worst headstock designs. I love the Strat head but honestly it's a bit weird, right? But I wouldn't want a Strat any other way. Slave to tradition I guess.
 
I personally like all of them except maybe the 2nd but it's unique for sure.

Yeah, that's how I feel. The head is just too ugly for me. :lol: :LOL:
 
I like the Hartung a lot.

I think Suhr's headstock is bad, but as much because of the logo as the shape. So dated IMO.

Agreed on all counts :thumbsup:
 
The Tyler is a POS.. I wanna throw it in to a wood chipper..
 
I actually like the Tyler headstock . I've never played one but there must be something really special about them to cost nearly 5 thousand a pop.
 
Always hated that fugly Tyler headstock...just ugly as shit. Edited(pic order changed): the Ken Lawrence, I REALLY like that one! Pretty awesome.
 
My BRJ Vixen is tied with the Ken Lawrence as the most badass headstock IMO.
