Headstock design elicits sinful response

I am smitten with a combination of love and lust, agape and eros, would proudly attend any social function with this headstock as my trophy date, and may even pen an ode to laud about it's praises.
In a word, I like it. A little more detail than I usually put into my headstocks, tho...

Very tasteful

Looks good to me, very different seeing curved rather than straight edges where the tuners mount.

Beautiful Dave, nicely executed & it just looks 'right' somehow. (Made for Jimi Hendrix?

)
Interesting touch on your nut with the waisting between the grooves, is this an aesthetics thing or does it have some secret sonics reasoning?

Been a fan of his headstocks since way back when.
Yet to try anythig like them yet though.

Wow! What a beautifully crafted headstock! Do you know if it is on a 12 fret to the body or a 14 - not that it matters, just curious! Would love to be able to put my name to something as beautiful as that ... may in a year or two I might have a go

Seriously impressed with the guitar but the guy lost any credibility when I noticed he's got carpet on the floor.

You taking about the white carpet? Um I think thats actually covering the benchtop the guitar is sitting on.

My bad!! All credibility rightfully restored.

Anyway what are you doing looking at the carpet???? The guitar is what you should be looking at!!

Of course sometimes the carpet IS worth looking at
