Ok, REVERSE headstock haters thread!!

[DonP]

Count me in. No love for reverse headstocks.

I can barely tolerate one on a strat body, like a DXMG.

The only reverse headstock guitar I have is a KS2, and I'm always tempted to swap the neck, but then it won't be original, won't fit in the case, I'd have to find RH brushed chrome hardware, etc. Too much of a PITA at the moment, but someday I might get the urge to finally go through with it.

I like em because you hate em! I tend to be more attracted by things that are out of the norm. Except that ugly ass Dean/Dimebag headstock. That makes me wanna puke everytime I see it.

[Cygnus X1]

I'm just too used to them.
It's actually easier for me to find the tuners
"on the fly" with a reversed headstock than a standard.

Quicker, too, since I don't have to flip hand position.

[Skizzwizz]

No way....hate em! Ugh in ugly!

Personally I prefer ESP reversed headstock over Jacksons, because of the 'nose' Jackson HS just doesn't look right imo

same, jackson reverse looks not good at all.
esp inline 6 reverse pointy is perfection on modern S shaped bodies, it points out or forward following the typical forward motion of strat type lines. bcrich gunslinger is also awesome/better reversed to me. strat i like either way.

Look, Ill be honest here instead of the troll I was earlier. I like the way they look, but its more difficult for me to string them. Its more comfortable for me to hold tension on the string with my right hand and wind with my left. This is pretty much impossible to do with a reverse headstock, but despite that, like Cyg said, its easier to tune on the fly and I like the way they look.

A a rev-head worshipper, I had to post this:

Green tuners and locking nut aswell? Jeez, you really know how to go too far

Thanks. I used to play in an Irish Peter GREEN tribute band. We used to do a 20 minute version of GREEN Manilishi. To beef-up the set we also covered songs by: GREEN Day, GREEN River, EverGREEN Terrace, GREEN Milk From The Planet Orange & from Punk/Hardcore legends GANG Green.

Now we just need an "I'm indifferent toward reverse headstocks" thread to have the whole set!

[Scooter]

Meh, I like them all, so long as they are Jackson/Charvel.

Now we just need an "I'm indifferent toward reverse headstocks" thread to have the whole set!

How 'bout a Smurf Hat love/hate thread?

[tonemonster]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! I just found this thread. what the hell? are we at reverse headstock war now??

[tonemonster]

Now we just need an "I'm indifferent toward reverse headstocks" thread to have the whole set!

yea, good idea!!! we also need a "who really gives a shit about headstock direction?" thread.

I am just starting with this headstock thread thing........ I am going to start a thread for supporters of midget porn next.

Exactly
The Jackson reversed IMO works on a Warrior, but not on much else

When it comes to regular headstocks, it takes quite some effort for a manufacturer to make it look like ass, Dean does a decent job at that

Personally I thing at the moment GMW headstocks look the best to me

[Nagash02]

IMO it depends on the guitar shape. I'd take Rhoads and Warriors with a reverse HS but that's all I guess. I prefer regular ones cause I'm used to them, to how to put the strings into them, how to tune etc. I think they look better as well (Jackson reverses are fugly IMO, I can take ESPs since my first guitar HAS a reversey...)
