Members Alecto Posted August 10, 2012 Members Share Posted August 10, 2012 From what I hear, great guitars, but every shape of their headstocks makes me cringe. Yeah, but notice that all the strings run straight as a rail. From a purely functional perspective, these are great headstocks. I own this Carvin H2. Sure, I'm not a fan of the headstock but, after a few minutes playing, I find it doesn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted August 10, 2012 Members Share Posted August 10, 2012 Even though they are sweet upper-end guitars, Kendrick makes some fugly headstocks.The ones I think are the most hideous are the parrot fish beaked/bottle opener shaped EVH (and Laguna posted below) headstocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wimpy77 Posted August 10, 2012 Members Share Posted August 10, 2012 I like the Suhr and Carvin headstocks but can't stand the Dean and James Tyler stocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Spike Li Posted August 10, 2012 Members Share Posted August 10, 2012 Speaking of penile headstocks, how could I forget the Zachary guitars one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members *BLEEP* Posted August 10, 2012 Members Share Posted August 10, 2012 Speaking of penile headstocks, how could I forget the Zachary guitars one? Slightly more dildonic than penile; I'd suspect the Fender XII headstock was its inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your axe and appreciate the functionality of the headstock but it does not need to be shaped as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted August 10, 2012 Members Share Posted August 10, 2012 Yeah, I was trying to remember those Laguna's to add to my post but the name wouldn't come to me.

Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted August 10, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'm wondering how y'all ain't been bitch slapped by RavenCAD:idk: Carvins don't even figure on my headstock fugly list, and yes I'm with Spike, the Tele headstock was the first {censored}er that should have been sawn off, Leo's redemption was of course the Strat headstock, so we'll leave him be in the playground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RaVenCAD Posted August 10, 2012 Members Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'm wondering how y'all ain't been bitch slapped by RavenCAD Sorry, didn't open the thread until today. It's OK though, let them hate all they want. A Carvin owner doesn't need the approval if the masses. We are above such things. However, I dare anyone to hold my CT and describe any part if it as ugly. It just won't happen. But I do agree on the Holdsworth headstock. That thing is deformed.

Members WRGKMC Posted August 10, 2012 Members Share Posted August 10, 2012 Fugly headstocks? How'bout a fugly buttstock... I actually like that one, There again, I've built a few wacky unconventional builds in the past soI dont have a problem with wierd stuff so long as it works well. Heres a few. Vintage Ampeg Bass. They actually play well but are kind of strange these days. Ampeg Copies My first electric guitar back in 1968 was a Vox Apollo. Strange Headstock but cool onboard electronics.
