 Headstocks!
Lately I've been in Adobe Illustrator designing original headstocks for a guitar I might want to get built someday, plus it's just fun! In doing so I like to hunt for pictures of all kinds of different headstocks for inspiration, which led me to this question.. What are your favorite looking headstocks? Post pics!

 Re: Headstocks!
You could try uploading them to an image hosting site like Imgur or something and link them if that works.

 Re: Headstocks!
I don´t like Dean headstocks. IMO they ruin beautiful guitars´ look. I like the slight asimetrical look of headstocks such as BC Rich Mockingbird or Hamstrong guitars. But its just a matter of tastes

 Re: Headstocks!
I'm not normally a fan of the standard Dean headstock, but I do like it on their V's.
