the telecaster headstock grew on me. I used to dislike it, but now I love it! It's just perfect the way it is!

Thought I'd throw up a pic of my Telecaster with Strat headstock. It's not the big 70s one, just the one off my old MIM Stratocaster. I was getting tired of the stock neck's radiius so I put the Strat one on because I much prefer it.

I think it looks a bit cool. The Telecaster is a MIM Classic series 50's.

Sorry dude, but that makes me dizzy to look at!  Was the original neck 7.25" radius?  The Strat is 9.5"?  I'll take the 7.25!

I do dig the Muddy Waters amp knobs, though! :-*

Hey, the normal Strat headstock looks cool on it. The 70s headstock makes it look kinda unbalanced to me.
Times change.  Remember when dog Jimmy used to go white and chalky?  Now it grows hair!  We got used to it. We'll get used to poly. -blueavenger

Yeah, I think they're rad. I took them off my Super Reverb.

I'm no bluesman though.
