NGD - best worst headstock ever

[OhFuxk]

I actually have it just under a month... Best sounding strat I have ever owned so far...

[Molly]

I can see why you would hesitate to show it off.

HNGD.

Oosh. I want to hear it! Congrats

Where'd you get it from?

[Basket Case]

Congrats! I've heard good things and have a JTV-59 which, even without the Line6 wizardry is actually just a damn fine guitar. I'm sure JT would sell way more guitars if he did something about that hideous headstock!

I bought it off my mate who is a session guitarist in Hong Kong. unscrew the neck from the body and put it inside my suitcase full of towels

The reason not a whole lot of people have them is less about the headstock but more about the fact that they are US$5000 a pop.

True. I was lucky I got a very good deal

Nah, it's the headstock.

So who is this James Tyler guy, and why does he appear to have such difficulty remembering his own name?

He was big in the studio bass scene.
Every second guy had a Tyler in a previous decade

Neil Neil Orange Peel was the main endorsee

Headstock has grown on me I really respect it's originality

[Mini Forklift]

I remember him doing a lot of custom guitars for some famous guitarists back in the 80's (?) I think. Pretty sure he started working on Strat's - doing really cool paint jobs and a few other mods then as word started getting round he ended up making his own ones. Sure that headstock is contentious, but at least it's somewhat original.

I always thought it would be cool to have one of these because my name is James Styler

Off-topic... I used to work with a Phil Styler. It doesn't strike me as a very common surname. Any relation of yours?
