The machine heads (tuners) just look like regular Grover Rotomatics. I suspect you mean the headstock, the end of the neck where the tuners are attached. ESP used to make LTD models that had that shape headstock but it's not my cuppa espresso.

yeah that`s what i meant, soz what a dope, i`d be interested in seeing the esp mach....headstock , i thought tanglewood were being original but maybe not.

They were just going for a straight pull from the nut to the tuners.

they do look straighter.than the esp but with no trem it don`t really matter and depending on how much it angles back it might need string trees if the nut is cut low

I first saw a headstock like that on an Alvarez bass made in the 90's:

I'd say ... no.

 

It's too obviously Les Paul influenced.

One of the most interesting head-stocks ever is not on a guitar, but on a mandolin.
