don't take this too serious man, no disrespect intended. sorry for the BS pictures. i should shift down a gear anyway, posting too much BS recently. i promise to be more sober, peace. time for another formal apology form. arash, nevermind, but I was shoked with the genitals drwaing, it is like you ask a frined of you about a drwaing and he show you this!!! looool , that is so insane joke mannn , still love you old persian friend @RobJe quote:
My comparison of headstocks with tombstones was meant to be serious. By convention (and to some extent constraint) they both have bilateral symmetry with the main scope for variation at one end. For anyone interested in design (and social history), burial grounds are good places to visit. If am staying for any length of time in place that I have not been to before, I usually visit a few graveyards with my camera. The pictures I posted were taken in Norfolk, UK. Removing the convention for symmetry (there are examples in other kinds of guitar) would provide scope for a whole new range of designs. Of course if you are making a peghead you no longer have to have straight sides. You would have to ask yourself whether guitarists might be too conservative to buy a guitar which branched out significantly from the conventional appearance. Incidentally there are other shared practical constraints. As a player I would not want a headstock with sharp and fragile looking projections like the ones in your design – I would not trust myself to avoid backing into a wall and snap bits off. Tombstones have a similar problem with frost damage. My choice? I like simplicity, functionality and elegance – not easy to define, but I know what I like when I see it! Rob as I thank you before , I thank you again, but I find talking a shape of head stocke from a grave yeard is a little bit sad to me, i feel like darkness, this is how I feel, if i would build a guitar. @Ruphus I really like the headstock on your profile photo I am fantasise by the flamenco gutiar head stock, I belive it gives a personality to the guitar, I really strong appearance head stock gives a strong charstracitis to the guitar, this is what i feel.
