heymisterk Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I vote for The Heritage: I think they look especially bad on their LP style guitars. Too bad, because I really love the idea of owning a Heritage and love the story of the company...and the prices. But whenever I am about to pull the trigger and buy one, I am held back by that flaccid-looking headstock. How about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevef Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 A good friend of mine had a Hagstrom, very much like this one, years ago. Nice guitar, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I have to agree that Heritage is a pretty bad headstock. But, it's probably hard for any maker since the 70's to come up with a design that isn't copying an existing style, but doesn't look too goofy.

Jantha Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'd say.. Dean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoRedFoot Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'd say.. Dean. Yeah' date=' I hate the split V style. Especially on the Futura. I hate everything about the look of this guitar.

heymisterk Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Dean would be my second choice for worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenKen Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 While I think the Fender headstock is classic, the CBS variant was not one of my favs. So why would you want to take that design to a ridiculous extreme? I guess you can use it to open your beer bottles in a pinch. Hey mods, what's wrong with ridiculous??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouth58 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Gibson pointy headstock on a flying V. A flying V looks a lot better with the Dean V-shaped headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShredAstaire Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Headstocks are low priority for me when looking at guitars....in that, i don't REALLY care what it looks like....however, those big *** DEAN V headstocks are a little extreme... Some good examples of bad headstocks in this thread...hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverside Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 parker fly head stock' date=' [/quote'] I agree - the Parker looks well, limited. I also don't like the little club-foot looking, fisty thing on the Gibson (whatever) pointy guitar. Well then - this one: (edit - djroge1 beat me to it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Say KSDADDY, any idea the vintage of the Epiphone "Moderne" and Gibson's knock-off? I figured you Gibson lovers would appreciate me wording it like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG FAN Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I happen to dig the Dean headstock, especially on a V or ML, to each his own, I guess:-" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
