guitar2005 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Guys, I need some input on a headstock shape I'm trying to come up with for a custom Thinline project. This guitar is not your average Tele thinline as it will have a wide neck, 12" radius and dual humbuckers. The neck design features an angled headstock and I'm looking for something unique but still tele-like. This is what I came up with: What do you think? The idea is to have something that will sit better on a regular guitar stand but still have a hint of the traditional headstock shape.

IPA or death Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Maybe try the G&L idea of combining the Strat and Tele shapes but add more of the Strat's wider lower flange. You know, the part that grew in the 70s? Wish I had a way to draw my idea here . But your idea ain't bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar2005 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Ok, I refined it a little. Here's take #3 - I think I like this one a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 nope the pointy hook can-opener thing wrecks the flow and I don't like the G&L version either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar2005 Posted December 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 This is what I ended up cutting for the headstock. I like it. It still has the tele vibe to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
