Get them to make you one like Chris Holmes' Budweiser star with the reverse Strat headstock.

Good luck getting that done. No artist similar custom orders, no trademarked artwork allowed.

I'm reasonably sure that Gibson now owns Kramer so they likely own the rights to that style headstock as well. That being said, I would actually prefer that pictured Kramer hs to an actual Explorer proportioned hs.

It's official- Matt at Matt's Music Center confirmed that J/C will NOT do anything remotely resembling the Gibson owned head stocks including the Kramer style hs. Ya know, a reversed Strat head stock would look kinda cool

Always wondered if J/C was ever going to make an LP style guitar. That looks SWEET! Curious as to how it plays though...

[SixstringKing]

Uhh.... I knew nothing of this guitar. How much would this cost, and where would I find it??????

Hmm, I can't understand why J/C are not making any other companies guitar shapes. I mean, Charvels are already doing it!! Look at Desolation for example. Arn't these single cuts too obvious?! Come on!!!

You are correct sir! Kramer is owned by Gibson as well as a whole slue of other brands.

Hey, Vector. Have you actually asked custom shop dealer about the banana headstock? I think it may work out because banana head stocks' arn't always like Gibson Explorer's. Kramer's banana head stocks were slightly different then the Gibson's. It wouldn't hurt to ask.

I think you can get that at the Gibson shop.

That reference was intended

i think you can get that at the gibson shop.

lol

OK, just get the Star from Charvel, then take it to a local luthier and have him "add" some more wood to the pointy headstock in the shape of a banana headstock! Win-win!

it's not like I'm asking for something built out of illegal woods

You can buy the body and neck with that head stock from KNE.

I think he might want one of these, but they're not available here.
I would like a CS firebird ala R.Crosby, and I can't have one either.

You are correct, Sir. Basically, want a Star body with the banana/explorer head stock. It's really not all that ingenious or ground breaking. F*ck, it's not like I'm asking for something built out of illegal woods or poached ivory tusks and baby seal skin. But... it seems it can't be done... easily.
