Members DeepEnd Posted April 17, 2018 Members Share Posted April 17, 2018 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.

Members Mikeo Posted April 18, 2018 Members Share Posted April 18, 2018 One of the most interesting head-stocks ever is not on a guitar, but on a mandolin.
