Reverse Headstock...

[Dinky]

I'm curious, and not trying to start a war, but i would like to know who here digs the reverse headstocks, who hates them, and why.
For some strange reason, i love them. They're kind of uniqe and different and look badass, but i've seen some poeple hate on them. I'm just curious why. That's all.

I love them for looks, but they are not to practical, but looks are far more important

Overall, I do not like them. Visually, they look cool on some guitars. But not on others. With straight-ish headstock designs they look okay. For example, I like ESP's reverse pointy. But I don't care for a reverse Jackson headstock.

Functionality wise, I don't like'em for the reasons explained in Question #5 of the FAQ in this thread:

They are harder for me to tune as well. I'd rather tune from the top than the bottom.

I guess I always use double locking tremolos, so tuning during a performance is never done at the headstock.

I like them, but as stated above not practical for tuning. They tend to give the guitar a more aggressive look, IMO.

I just like the looks of the normal better... Don't really hate the reverse, just prefer the normal.

, do a search, we just had a war over this. Reverse headstocks LOST.

I'm sorry, I have a reverse opinion about that.(te he!) I thought reverse WON.

Once the Floyd nut is locked, it really makes no difference. And, it looks cool.

+1. I've had a couple Dinky Reverse models, but I think it's a little bit of an eyesore the way they point up. I just think the regular Jackson headstock works. I don't care for ESP's regular headstock, but I do like that one reversed.
I don't mind tuning a reverse headstock, though. I've got a Carvin SC90 with reverse headstock and I think it looks and functions fine.

I don't like Jackson reverse headstocks... I prefer those from ESP, but I'm not into reverse ones anyway ^^

Ah, was already wondering if I either had a deja vu or traveled back in time

I'm sorry guys, I didn't see the thread in my search. Thanks for the link.
