What headstock for a Velocity?

[PFDarkside]

Since we can’t do a 4+2 headstock, what is the best looking headstock for a Velocity? (Flat, flame maple, recessed Floyd, planning for a flame headstock overlay that matches) Looking for a quasi-EVH vibe.

I think Velocity is the best. What is your opinion and would you do Modern or Tiltback, considering it’ll have a Floyd nut. Thinking of Birdseye shaft/fretboard.

I’m slapping a Meadowhawk on ever non Fender shape I buy from Warmoth from now on, but when faced with the dilemma I chose the Warmoth over the Vortex because I liked the offset tuners matching the shape a little more.

I used a Warhead on my modern roasted/flamed neck.

I voted Warhead, but Vortex or Meadowhawk would also look great

I voted for Meadowhawk, but with a Floyd nut I'd at least consider the Nomad

Me, too. But actually it was the other way round. Now I had this wonderful Warmoth neck lying around which I spontaneously ordered right from the Warmoth Showcase... & I was wondering what body shape to attach it to...

I’m considering a completely separate 5150 build but thanks for the suggestion.

Meadowhawk neck would be awesome on Soloist, new KNS, VK, even a Floyd loaded Regal might work. It’s a fantastic design.

I like the way the Warmoth looks on my Velocity. Meadowhawk would also look good, but wasn't available when I built the Velocity. I also like a Gibson scale with this body.

Or the obvious Meadowhawk body...

I mean, of course…

If it has a Floyd nut, tiltback Vortex or Meadowhawk if you prefer the look.

Indeed I do. (Not the best picture. I really need to take some time and get some good images of my instruments!)

Interesting how similar and yet totally unique our two guitars are!

I feel like your guitar would walk by mine and whisper “there but for the grace of God go I” under its breath
