Reversed Headstock Appreciation Thread

Re: Reversed Headstock Appreciation Thread

A hockey stick isn't useable as a hockey stick unless it's reversed, duh.

Love the reverse CBS, just so over the top a standard Strat depends on the guitar. That Ibanez is nice too. I'm not too big on the hockey stick in standard or reverse configuration.

Nope. I don't even like 3x3 headstocks. One of the reasons I swapped the necks on all of these was to get 6 in line and on the correct side. :D

Heyell to the yeayaah!

I love crazy headstocks in general:
Dean V, BCRich Widow stocks, explorers, and especially LOVE the reverse Jackson style! Nothing looks better.

Re: Reversed Headstock Appreciation Thread

I dig the looks of the Jackson and Ibanez reversed headstock but it's awfully uncomfortable to tune.
No it is not! The trick is to tune it on the body end! Then the only real difference is that a reverse Jackson pointy is less likely to hit a nearby window sill and more likely to gut low flying birds.

But on a more serious note, the tuner access depends on the player's body build type and strap length. For a person with long arms, it might actually be more comfortable to reach to the headstock from below rather than have to raise the whole arm and reach from above. I'm not talking about guys who wear their ax at knee height, of course!

Imagine how sad and droopy George Lynch's Kamikazes would look without the headstock priapism.

Nice Jackson backed by a questionable dvd collection.

There's not much cooler than a lefty 70's stock on a righty Strat.
 
Re: Reversed Headstock Appreciation Thread

I think reverse head stocks are the hottest thing since sliced bread! While some find tuning them awkward, to me it's way more comfortable. A little tougher on the restring though. I'll post some shots of my reverse stocks later tonight. Viva La Reverse!
 
Re: Reversed Headstock Appreciation Thread

Absolutely luv em. That extra 5" on E6 totally changes tone.
