I'm not a strat guy but that's the coolest design for a headstock ever.

I like the CBS-era Strat shape (about the only good thing about CBS strats IMO), the Ibanez shape is always cool, Gibbo LP headstocks are super classy, Chandler's "strat" stype headstock looks modern and sleek. Mirage headstocks are really cool lookin' too.

I'm partial to the old ESP-made Kramer banana headstocks, my next favorite would be a Jackson pointy reverse headstock.

I like the skinny melody maker head stock, or the Tele headstock

I see your point as far as not many pro rockstars use PRS's. I can only think of one other person to add to your list that plays PRS's......... Mark Tremonti of Creed & AlterBridge (2/4 of Creed).

This list might help.

Though I have a few around the house, I think the PRS headstock nice but not great. Actually, I don't think any brand's headstock is particularly better looking than all the rest. Some do turn me off, though.

i like the Ernie Ball. It balances the guitar better, so it sits better on your body- works well too!

Funny that nobody mentioned the Brian Moore headstock. 4/2 looks cool, especially with the contoured route on one side and the logo along the edge.

Also love the Gretsch White Falcon and D'Aquisto Archtop headstocks.

And, the reverse large strat headstock is cool as hell too. One of these days, I wanna buy a lefty Fender neck for one of my strats.

I love the ESP pointy headstock on my EX-400, it looks badass, but ESP makes some really HORRIBLE looking headstocks, the KH series LP copies have that really thin strait headstock...GOD THAT THING BOTHERS ME, but my vote goes to the ESP pointy, then the Widow headstock, and then the headstock on my ESP F200, it's similar to some schecter and prs headstocks

I have to say that my favorite all time classic headstock is the Fender Telecaster.

I likw the Telecaster headstock because it looks like a johnson. Any company with the grapes to pull that off deserves a medal, any company that can pull it off and make the Telecaster the classic it is deserves its fortune.
