I own two 1950s Epis and never really noticed the headstocks so I guess they do not bother me. Both are acoustic guitars though. For me I guess it comes down to whether you see the feature as having a sonic payoff or as just aesthetics. I had always heard that back in the day Epiphone went with the larger headstock to add mass to the neck of their archtops which in theory increased sustain. Kind of like the Fender Fat Finger. So I guess the question is, assuming it did enhance the sound in its day, is it still necessary today or, if not, do you keep the headstocks because of tradition.
At first with my LP standard it was kind of like "yeah the headstock looks a little strange". But after setting the guitar up for me and loving it, that strange looking headstock began to look really cool. I've had some past girlfriends effect me the same way :).

I like the Epi headstock on my LP standard a lot. No really, I do

. To me it's got a cool vintage thing about it. And I like how it's oversized. It makes the guitar look laid back. I agree with the quote at the top of the thread that said let an Epiphone be an Epiphone. Epiphones are pretty damn cool. 'Scuze my French .
