Headstock Aesthetics
Text and images you copy will automatically show here
I'm curious about people's opinions on the difference between the Epiphone and Gibson headstocks. I was at the barber last week and he was talking about his preference for the "open book" look. A few decades ago I had an SG and the headstock broke and I was traumatized by it so I left those guitars alone until I picked up an epiphone yesterday.
I might just be trying to protect my own feelings, but as a Telecaster player I'm just used to understated headstocks I guess and the Epiphone just makes more sense to me. It does the job. It holds the tuning machines.
And now I just can't stop seeing it. The Gibson looks like an upturned waxed mustache worn by a douchebag villain in a cowboy movie and the Epiphone looks like kissable lady lips. Why what I want some dastardly Daniel guitar when I can have a kissable kimberly or Kristen or Katie or whatever?
