Hideous in it's current incarnation . One could always re neck it with a proper headstock design. maybe put a tone pot on it.

It's better than the reverse hockey stick model, of which I've seen several.

To me it's an utter failure. Nothing fits in terms of desing. Why the tele shape ? There's no point.

Why ?

Oh no. That just wont do! The headstock is just the epitome of ugliness.

I love 'em all but the headstock sucks! I would have to change the neck because of that awful headstock. Too bad company's wouldn't change their headstocks to suit the style of the guitar. It doesn't have to be a fender style but get rid of that "weapon" looking thing! Love the graphics!

I prefer a more subtle approach.
Anyways we'd know it's a Jackson even if didn't have the trademark headstock. The logo must be 4 inches long.

i'll be different here...

the headstock, while definitely not my favorite, doesn't bug me as much as that paint job...that rainbow fade deal just reeks of excess and self importance...everything anti-tele in my book.

maybe in black it'd work...i mean, a tele is as tough as they come, so why not as a "metal" ish guitar?
