Lies and slander, we'll not have you slagging off T-birds here!

That is ugly, I really don't like the Buzzard, however it's not what I would call a single cut.

This however I think is beautiful ..

It gets worse. They cut the wood out of the headstock instead of the upper bout. I'd take it back and complain if I were you :)

Stop wearing your bass around your moobs then. :)

Ah. Another old argument... funny how they're all cropping up at the minute.

That'll be for the Fender?[/quote]

:) :rolleyes: :lol:

When I built the garage it was the best door retainer I could come up with at the time!

You're right about the Fender bit though... bliddy double cuts; patooey! :D

Now let's not sidetrack the thread... headstock designs needs a thread all of it's own! 2+2, 4 a-side, 3+1, reverse, slotted; the mind boggles.

Get a load of this toad:



Yuk!

that's a good example of how not to wind strings onto the machine heads...
there's not enough turns on the posts for a start and it just ruins the look of an expensive bass having bits of wire going off in all directions...

rather like guitarists who don't cut their strings properly and have little coils up there getting in the way...

meh...
