to me the headstock is as important as the body and paint/finish man. some guitars are GREAT guitars and just because of the headstock I'd stay away from them (I know I know, I'm crazy)... in my case for example:

Taylor strats, FUGLY!

now, my favorites so far:
the good ol strat!

and I REALLY like Mustaine's Dean neck

I also find the new james hetfield Explorer snakebyte neck is awesome

finally this Gutierrez neck is HOT! (THIS ONE, not the elf shoe version of this)

Strathead both large Fender and smaller Charvel/Fender for me. I do like LP/LPC headstocks too
 
PRS, Gibson, and the standard Strat.

I am with you though.

I once was close to pulling the trigger on a Ruokangas custom guitar, but I couldn't stand the look of the head stock at the time. He wouldn't change it, fair enough.

But they do make or break a guitar for me.
 
I'm pretty simple...I don't really like the pointy or weird shaped headsotcks

Stratocaster
Les Paul Custom
Ibanez

I really find the Blackmachine fascinating as well.
 
Les Paul Customs
The big Fender one's like the Malmsteen strat
And the old shakfin Kramer which are now like the Suhr headstock.

Excellent thread, and I agree, I never could buy a guitar that I didn't like the headstock shape

Nicest:

Gibson LP (Custom even better!)
Fender Strat (small and large)
Ibanez Superstrats
Jackson Superstrats

Ugliest:

Tyler (horrible!)
Suhr (Its growing on me)
Heritage
Hamer

I also like the Strat and Tele headstocks. And yeah, I agree with Joey that those Tyler headstocks are hideous. :thumbsdown:
 
I've never thought much about headstocks, but I have turned away guitars over them before. I would say my favorite design is the Parker/Blackmachine style, which someone already posted.
 
Killer guitar and Killer headstock :rock: :rock: :rock:
