I guess Phil doesnt like them pointy like he used to, lol.

I dont remember many with a reverse headstock either, but a cool option none the less.

Re: whats up with this headstock?

All of Phil's pointy headstock guitars were like that. He had them rounded off, because playing on that huge stage would be murder on the other guys when he would bump into them. My prototype has that headstock.

Forget the headstock, what's up with those crazy, alternating up-down inlays? [img]/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

Uh, they're called zig-zag shark fins, and they rule...

My Phil Collen Pro had the factory nubby head as well.

Those inlays are cool. Kind of plays tricks on my eyes though.

Re: whats up with this headstock?

oh for real? thats great news, now i can say that i was trying to be phil collen instead of looking like a chump with my rounded headstock.

Re: whats up with this headstock?

Uh, model1, have you seen pictures of Steve Clark. Phil had to round them off, Steve would bleed if you looked at him funny.

Re: whats up with this headstock?

ah cmon steve wasn`t that fragile too, at least on the pics i know

Re: whats up with this headstock?

During the Hysteria tour, he would have snapped in half if you breathed on him wrong. All the substance abuse left him frail and boney.

Re: whats up with this headstock?

My Collen Pro has the rounded tip, but my PCS Collen has the regular pointy tip.

Re: whats up with this headstock?

Doesn't look that bad... but Jackson can keep the pointy headstock as far as I'm concerned.
