Help me decide! '69 CBS headstock or reverse standard headst

[maiden_fan]

Just filling in the order form for my Musikraft neck, i have it all decided other than, which headstock i want as i love the vintage appeal of the 69 headstock especially with the daphne blue im going for on the body, but there is something so cool looking about a reverse strat headstock.

What would you choose?

Also is it worth getting the compound radius fretboard?

cheers tony

Can't say anything to the compound radius option but I think you should take the reverse headstock one! I'd love to have a sunburst colored strat with scalloped maple fretboard and reverse headstock. A FR bridge would be nice too!

 

[maiden_fan]

I already have the sunburst strat, and you can hold the floyd.

Thanks for the input

Any pics of strats rocking the big headstock?

Well said!! I have the small headstock on my GMW but its reverse. It looks ]v[etal!!!

If it's with a locking nut...it's all a matter of visual shit. If it's not I always preferred the difference in string pull on reverse head stocks.

That with a scalloped fretboard and the bridge pup angled the other way around would be teh sex.

Keep thinking about it so I can get my order in before you!

Very nice!

Did you get a body from them also?

 

[jonny toetags]

Also...what pickups are you putting in??
I'm having a hard time deciding what i want in my strat

 

[maiden_fan]

Im getting a body from a local builder, one piece alder in daphne blue, '65 strat spec.

Its going to have locking tuners, and a wilkinson trem.

For pickups im going with either Rio grande muy grande in neck and middle and a dirty harry in the bridge or a set of Bareknuckle slow hands or trilogy suites. I will probs go with the trilogy suites, as i like the clips ive heard.

Not a big headstock, but I thought I'd post up my father's strat and give you some GAS
