Members Sikor Posted August 9, 2012 Members Share Posted August 9, 2012 Generally agree, but latest DC series models have ok headstock IMO: It looks however better on a guitar, than alone: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soundcreation Posted August 9, 2012 Members Share Posted August 9, 2012 My carvin has the second one. I like it. The other two are fine to me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FoonkySteve Posted August 9, 2012 Members Share Posted August 9, 2012 S'pose theyre alright. 2nd one is the best of the bunch. I used to hate Tele headstocks - im still not overly keen on them, but i gots 2 tele's now - luv em! The headstock doesn't bother me so much these days even though they are a b@st@rd for hangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Blackface Posted August 9, 2012 Members Share Posted August 9, 2012 I don't like any of those headstocks. That's why I got this one, which I think is fine: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Belva Posted August 9, 2012 Members Share Posted August 9, 2012 I like the 3 per side one. Yes we all love the Gibby headstocks. But having a straighter string path makes nut cutting easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BryanMichael Posted August 9, 2012 Members Share Posted August 9, 2012 I love that I think these look fine on the guitar they are designed for (The Allan Holdsworth models) there is a certain flow to design...which is why I still think Gibson headstocks look "better" on Les Paul bodies than most others, including Epiphone.

Members Presc Posted August 9, 2012 Members Share Posted August 9, 2012 The super bland looking logo script/design doesn't help. I can't really talk, I have a G&L and a Heritage, and I'm guessing people would complain about the K-Line too, although it's not too far off the Fender headstock in person.

Members Guitar Heel Posted August 9, 2012 Members Share Posted August 9, 2012 I love Carvins, but I too will admit that their headstocks are terrible, as is their logo. I've bought a bunch of them anyway, but yeah, there's room for improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hubert Stumblin Posted August 9, 2012 Members Share Posted August 9, 2012 most Carvin headstocks look pretty awful to me. Most Carvins look awful to me. I think they look like 70's hippie furniture. Like they'd look at home on a stand next to a big lacquered tree stump slice coffee table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Spike Li Posted August 9, 2012 Members Share Posted August 9, 2012 those look fine to me, but I cant stand these ones: Suhrs look incredibly lame considering that theyre such a high end product and I not a big fan of the tele headstock. Yeah I went there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted August 9, 2012 Members Share Posted August 9, 2012 The Dean looks bad, and that weird Gibson (what model was that from?) looks pretty bad. I agree on the Suhr. I read somewhere on here that a guy gigged his Suhr, and some audience member thought it was a cheap knockoff of a Strat. They might be nice guitars, but some pictures online make them look like that. Whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
