Who here likes reversed headstocks?

+1 the Dark Lord looks totally bad ass.

Joe, do you love the fat neck as much as I do? I never thought I'd love such a fattie, but I find it so comfortable. How do you feel about yours?

I'm a fan of fat necks (on a six string)... I love the necks on old LP's and Teles that are huge, so the Darklord was kind of a dream come true for me (club neck + roasted+Y2D=LOVE)!

yup, the neck is great!
really think about getting another one and let a luthier put on a floyd rose :)

I like your style...but, please be very, very specific with him not to make a giant hole like my luthier did to the pdn axis I used to have. Keep it tight!
 
i have yours still in mind! and that would be horror for me.
maybe my advantage is, that i have a routed Y2D where he can take the measurements and copy it to the other body.
but this project will have to wait, because the next thing is to pay my PDN'14.....and we never know what kind of special run BP will offer next. ;)

I've always really liked reversed headstocks, remind me of the 80's. :D

After they stopped playing 80's rock (hair band stuff) on the radio, I switched over to only listening to jazz and classical music radio stations for about ten years. I completely missed the grunge era. Yes, I was pouting about it.

Loved the 80s guitars with the wild paint jobs and shapes.... but, NOT the reverse headstocks!

I missed the grunge era too, because with a few exceptions it was rubbish!

Ha ha!! Things improved somewhat in the 90's.
 
I was just thinking of how cool a purple axis with reversed headstock would in my mind just now,,, and i still think it would be cool. I wish i had the photo shop skills to mock it up, if someone could do that i would love to see it!
