I've not been a big fan of the Wilshire with that Penile headstock and mini humbuckers. But this one looks pretty cool.

Dude, you must have one weird lookin penis if you think this looks "penile"

Now I will agree with you that the one you posted looks pretty nice :thu:

But the mini-hums on this model are the best sounding Epi HBs I've heard

And to me, the "bat-wing" headstock on the '66 and Ltd Pro Wilshires looks less "neck heavy" than on the Phant-O-Matic :idk: The Wilshires have pretty small bodies so it helps the balance and overall look to have a bit of a trimmer headstock.

I also like that it's unique to the Wilshire and doesn't look like just another "clipped ear" Gibson headstock copy.

 

I guess I like either one. I wonder if you'd run into any unusual problems doing a p'up swap on the Phant-O-Matic with the Varitone wiring on it (?)
