The beautiful headstock thread

[jaxn slim]

So, if I agree it's an ugly, er, um, BEAUTIFUL headstock, I give a "like," right? Or is it the other way around?

It's your thread, boss.

On a related note, I was at 30th Street Guitars yesterday and one of the associates was helping to clean up the back. He presented a broken off Gibson headstock to the owner and asked what to do with it. The reply was, "find the Gibson that's missing a headstock. They probably go together."
