Is that headstock based on the Carvin Bromberg series bass headstock?  Pretty pointy.  Nice choices all around.

It does look like that. But it's copying this one.

The guitar version of that Carvin headstock dates back to five years before Caparison even existed.

Interesting, I've been getting Carvin catalogs for about 15 years or so. Never saw one that was this shape reversed and 2X4. I can see if it was reversed it would look just like it. I still associate it with the Caparison because of where I first saw it. I'm also going to modify it slightly.

It's neither reversed nor 2+4.

I guess I'm not getting your point. That looks like the same ones from their catalog I've seen all these years. just reversed. :)

comparing these 2 headstocks is what we are doing right?

I can see how they are similar. As I said i guess I'm not getting what your trying to say. Sorry for the confusion.

I misread the post I originally replied to. For some reason I thought you were saying Carvin ripped off the Caparison, when you were saying it was your design that was based on the Caparison.

So true.

On another note I got my UPS Quantum View email for both the body and neck!!!  :hello2:
And I still have this Strat to finish... I thought I'd have a few more weeks. But that's in no way a complaint
