They look kind of cool on a Strat where all six tuners are on one side. But a MM (2+4 rather than 4+2)? Eh, I don't think it would a big enough of a change to make it all that interesting.

On the wiki page for the basses it says the 3+1 and 4+2 was actually developed to help with dead spots so I think there is some science to the current arrangement.

Wiki sticky dicky bs is was to differentiate and help with the brand. Only after Dudley got his hands
on them did they serve a practiacl advantage of true straight string pull....

When is enough enough. How in the world can it be pointed out to you that you would be adding 120,000 options to a small factory and think it is still a good idea.

Lionel I think Rolex should add rubber straps too.... A music Man is a Music Man...

It actually looks sweet but I don't think we're missing anything without the option. lol

As for Wikipedia... it's a good source for major topics like the reformation or the Visigoths... it's not a good source for current things because too many fanboys who think they know everything always get on there and write crazy stuff to make their favorite thing look better. Even for major topics, it's only good as a general information gathering tool and to find good sources... Never rely on it until you've checked first hand and other legit sources.

I haven't looked through every part of the EB website, but it might be cool for someone who is into history and particularly eb history to gather all the tidbits from BP throughout this forum and other parts of the page and write a book seeking authorization. There could be an online version on the website maybe and maybe later a nice hardback book with lots of rare photos. I know a few people in my humble little hometown that would buy it. lol

I tried to edit our wiki and they sent me a violation noitce....wiki is one notch below major media for accuracy

That's so weird.. I watched a guy edit a wiki page one day and he typed in "Butt cheese" like 30 times... it let him do it.

Are they at least trying to start watching edits? If so, they obviously need to find out who they are blocking. That's nonsense that it send you a violation notice when everyone else can put whatever they want.

Yeah, that's the ticket - the new Dudley Signature Model available with or without reversed headstock or reversed body. Surely this won't add up to 120,000 new of EBMM variations.

As long as it is available with rosewood board... :D

I think for a reversed headstock to look good, it should be a 6 or 7 inline config.

Now the reverse bodied Al... slap a floyd rose and 3 humbuckers on there and I'm in! :D

BP you crack me up. I think this Dudley is a genius, maybe he should have his own model?

It's actually Dudley's birthday today! Happy Birthday, Dudley!

now back to your regularly scheduled thread...

I think reverse headstocks would be not just a headache at the factory, but fugly for the sake of fugly. Sorry but I guess I'm "traditional"?
