  • Reverse headstocks look better.

    I think so. To a large extent, I believe reverse headstock Jackson necks look much better than normal ones.
    So why aren't they standard, with normal ones being the odd ones out?



    That's mine. I wish they all had the reverse headstock.

    I have a DR3 and a DK2T, my preferences have changed and the I like the standard headstock more now than in the past. Although I still like reverse headstocks. Just one of those things I guess.

      i dont like the reverse jackson headstock unless its on a kelly

      the ibanez and the esp ones are cool : they are inline with the neck and body

      Yeah, I definitely smell a pork product of some type.

        Love the reverse headstock, so much so that if I find an old logo model 7 the neck will be coming off it to give my 3dr\model 2 mutt a cosmetic upgrade

          I don't like reverse headstocks.

          I don't like the fact that my KellyStar has one.

          They look so-so on a strat.

          Don't like them on a Kelly. Makes it look like a big W.

            I like each version equally, but only reverse pointy's. I hate reverse strat heads!!!

              I dont care either way. I like em both. The reverse is a more aggressive look tho. I have a USA cst shp single hum strat with a reverse and a JRS2 also with a reverse. Both strat bodies. And both great guitars. I wouldnt care either way if it was reverse or not. I think its the overall guitar that makes it for me.

                  I prefer the standard Jackson pointy headstock. The reverse headstock is okay, and I've owned a couple Dinky Reverse models and a Kelly XLR, but the headstock just doesn't seem to flow that well to me when it's pointing up at eye level.
                  I do also like the reverse Ibanez headstock. And I like the reverse ESP headstock, can't stand it when it's not reversed.
                  I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

                      This is very much diffrent, on every sinlge guitar jackson makes.
                      A woodtop etc can be the diffrence if it looks good with/without a reverse headstock, if you know how i mean
                      Tell me about it!

                        I like 'em all, but give the nod to non-reversed.
