All personal taste innit.  I don't mind that, it's got a Lakland vibe.  G&L's 4 inline headstocks are way worse, the pointy bit is more obvious.

The 4-string headstock looks better. Seriously, who wants their G&L mistaken for a Fender?

Other than that, even the 5-string headstock doesn't come close to these.

Ok

The big square Wal headstock, for me, ruins the look of an otherwise very pleasantly-shaped instrument.

 

It looks like something you'd get a pizza out of the oven with

They’re sort of so ugly…I would forgive it…

 

like LEH guitars - their basses are gorgeous, apart from the pig ugly headstock

Just…🤢🤮

Well, I'm going to fly my freak flag high for the G&L headstock and say that I think it looks great. Love the "eye gouger/bottle opener" and the CLF headstock is fine, if unremarkable.

I love the G&L headstock too, although the 4 or 4+1 are a lot more graceful than the 3+2, which looks a bit... melted.

I still reckon the Coda is an April Fools' joke that got way out of hand.

I think the 3+2 is best viewed horizontally, to my eyes vertical orientation accentuates the "melted" look you describe.

After painfully tilting my head, I'm inclined to agree!

The Levinson always looks just a bit off to me.
