Favourite headstock design? Just for fun...

Yes, it is, I wasn't suggesting that you made it up.

 

I know, but you'd be surprised sometimes - I have a friend whose name is Saara.  She told me a story that one time she spelled her name out to some customer service type over the phone and they asked her if she was sure that's how it's spelled!  Her own effing name!  Still makes me chuckle when I think about it to this day.

I will always have a soft spot for this 😍

The three separate string tree efforts, when one bar would provide uniformity of break angle simply and cleanly, for me ruin what would be an otherwise tasty looking design. It just looks messy, like they never really thought through what they were trying to achieve and bodged a solution from the parts bin.

 

Or just have an angled neck and not have to mess about with string trees at all!

I just love my favourite bass.

The headstock is so small and perfectly formed....and the fact it is painted to match the body is the icing on the cake.

Indeed - I don't like unfinished headstocks, unless it is on an unfinished bass. I guess I mean non matching headstocks!

Have you? Its a shame because I agree with Doctor J that they are a more elegant solution to the break angle issue

 

I have never found the break angle to be an issue.

For me, I'm really digging the warwick buzzard headstock

THe 50s silhouette of the headstock is nice but those tuners look like the end of knitting needles. Some big old emelphant ears would work a treat!

Do you know what…they’re phenomenally stable…the basses in their entirety look like toys; but they’re mint.
