Too many not in the list - ESP pointy straight and reversed, ESP teardrop and Mayones Regius (almost like teardrop reversed), Mayones Duvell, Balaguer, Schecter, Aristides, the list goes on and on
@6:13 - that pretty much sums it up, accurate asf 😂 Great video, very fun! My favorite headstock is the pointy one from ESP. Like you call it, "weaponry" style headstock, which I'm pretty sure it's based on the Jackson RR headstock.(And I think you forgot to put it on the list 😬) Rock on brother! 🤘🏻😎🔥
I'm a bit biased because my favorite guitar is an Ibanez (S body shape, Axion Label series) but that headstock reversed is one of my favorites - it also made me want all of my guitars to have reverse headstocks, I can tune it up and start playing without changing the direction my hand is pointing in
B.C. Rich's 80's "Harpoon Headstocks" (the big ones in Reverse) are killer too !! And 80's Dean "Z" (Explorer type) or "V", with that big fork headstock looks so cool !!!
The S tier picks are great. I would have the hockey stick headstock there too. I love hockey and to be honest that headstock instantly makes me think of how insane the guitar players were from that era.
Funnily enough I prefer the Gibson standard headstock to the custom one I think I much prefer the barebone look of it. As for reverse Jackson headstock I agree a hundred percent. I kinda agree with your stand on the Ibanez one. It feels like they haven't really moved in terms of the shape or something. I mean I love Universe guitars and Satch ones etc but it feels like there's always something missing in the stock guitars or they are not up to trends like Solar or Esp.I may digress a little bit 😂😂😂
The Cerberus headstock is similar to the Blackmachine headstock and is similar to a Parker headstock but reversed. It's also very similar to the Skervesen headstock. It's cool, nevertheless...
To each their own, I guess. My S tier always been reverse everything. Reverse fender headstock, reverse Ibanez headstock, reverse ESP, Jackson pointy headstock....
lol the wolfgang headstock is my favorite because it looks like Eddie cut the end knob off a fender headstock with a jigsaw just so it's clearly not fender lol
Schecter has several headstock shapes that are all at least A Tier. I’m not a huge fan of the old fashioned Jackson Headstocks, but they also have a super gnarly one that I love that’s on a ton of their guitars (ex. Chris Broderick and Misha Mansoor signature models).
I love these tier list’s! The Solar has one of- if not the best reverse headstock shapes, but it should be in S- tier. All Jackson’s (non-reverse/normal) in A- tier. ESP & Cerberus in A- tier. Gibson & Epiphone open book headstocks, Ibanez, Kramer, Gibsons “Flying V”, and EVH stripe series in B- tier. Both Fender’s (little &big) headstock’s and Dean in S- tier. The Moderna headstock is a ripoff of Dean guitars…. Period!! Never caged for Wolfgang, PRS, Fender Tele, Music Man, Dean Shrimp-fork headstock, nor do I care for a headless guitar(stock). I can’t even put them in a tier., but the BC Rich is worthy of a C- tier. Alongside that is the oversized Gibson open-book headstock. I’m liking the content X., because I’m always watching new YT content. Thanks 4 sharing my metal brother!, and until next time…. Stay safe, Stay metal, and don’t forget to Riff!!🤘🏻🔥🎸😎⚡️💥🙏🏻
My opinion is that you missed some significant models like Schecter 6 in line, Schecter Diamond 3-3 that is kinda close to PRS, Schecter 3-3 that fits with Gibson, Yamaha Pacifica, Ibanez AR, PRS ST style, Washburn reverse 6 in line (Nuno, Ola Englund), Mayones, Framus 3-3, Framus 6 in line...
For me top three would be Ibanez, solar and prs. But I would add Ibanez reverse and Jackson pro plus modern since I have those along with the regular Ibanez. I would also add schecter. The Damien style one. Know it comes on a few of their models
@@matranga Exactly! And ESP and Jackson pointy designs are completely different in my opinion. Jackson’s aesthetic screams the ’80s and early ‘90s-classic old school metal, Floyd Rose, and shredding in standard tuning. On the other hand, ESP has a totally distinct vibe-it’s all about the 2000s, heavy riffs in drop tunings, fixed bridge. Plus, their designs really shine with 7 and 8 strings. XRC really missed the mark on this one.
Well i dont understand your point concerning the new Epi shape, the gibsony one... ESP and LTD, Fender and Squier, event Gibson and Epi (with V and Explo), has the same headstock for high end or entry level... The only brand to do that is Gibson with 3x3 headstock for Epiphone
Your opinion on headstocks went to shit at 6:40 when you put the strat headstock in S tier. Its the same pile of trash as the telecaster you were just dogging on. Obvious youre not trying to piss off the guitar elitists who watch your vids.
Ibanez has a S tier headstock for me
Agreed. It's like what Solar wishes they could design lol
it's a strong D for me, bulky and old looking
fuck yeah. Iconic as fuck idk why he hates it.
Putting prs below evh is wild.
Too many not in the list - ESP pointy straight and reversed, ESP teardrop and Mayones Regius (almost like teardrop reversed), Mayones Duvell, Balaguer, Schecter, Aristides, the list goes on and on
ORMSBY!!!
I like the asymmetrical ESP Eclipse headstock!
I agree with almost all but the ibanez which I think is 1 of the sexiest.
Where's ESP pointy headstock? 👀
Those are S-tier 4 sure bro 😎
@@TheGhostLad1 100%, but I have the feeling, that this tier list was made in a hurry. There is so much left to talk about.
Ormsby headstocks are killer. My favorite for sure.
Reverse ESP 6-in-line, dude!
Esp and ltd are all winners. My h200 (not a crazy expensive guitar) is my favorite headstock
Dude what’s up with the two videos in one day?
The 70's strat headstock legit can't be beat, that is my absolute favorite headstock
no six-in-line esp/ltd reverse headstock?
@6:13 - that pretty much sums it up, accurate asf 😂
Great video, very fun!
My favorite headstock is the pointy one from ESP. Like you call it, "weaponry" style headstock, which I'm pretty sure it's based on the Jackson RR headstock.(And I think you forgot to put it on the list 😬)
Rock on brother! 🤘🏻😎🔥
Telecaster headstock look like Egypt bird symbol
For me, Solar / Ibanez / ESP / PRS are the best, S tier
I'm a bit biased because my favorite guitar is an Ibanez (S body shape, Axion Label series) but that headstock reversed is one of my favorites - it also made me want all of my guitars to have reverse headstocks, I can tune it up and start playing without changing the direction my hand is pointing in
I knew we'd have vastly different opinions. I haaaate Flying Vs and pointy headstocks but absolutely love the Tele body shape and headstock.
Schecter has some cool headtocks!
i'm very biased but yeah they're my favorite
B.C. Rich's 80's "Harpoon Headstocks" (the big ones in Reverse) are killer too !!
And 80's Dean "Z" (Explorer type) or "V", with that big fork headstock looks so cool !!!
I actually like the epiphone tombstone
Parker headstock missing and is 100% S tier
My Ormsby Hype guitars have the harpoon headstock...can't get much more metal than that.
The S tier picks are great. I would have the hockey stick headstock there too. I love hockey and to be honest that headstock instantly makes me think of how insane the guitar players were from that era.
I have three Ibamez RG's, two 7 string and one 6 string. The inline reverse headstocks look cooler!
I like the 3+3 Iceman headstocks too.
No Ibby reverse headstock 😢 I think those are some of the best reversed headstocks
Saying youre more into traditional stuff with the Telecaster in D tier and the Solar in A tier is wild
Was on board with the first 2 but then the list went crazy. And ESP headstock in C tier is a crime.
my fav guitars are the rg420hp gold hardware you gave a c lmao
excellent idea
I wish youd have addressed the BC Rich "Harpoon" headstock. Looks a lot like a Jackson headstock. Id be interested how you like that one.
Cool list
Funnily enough I prefer the Gibson standard headstock to the custom one I think I much prefer the barebone look of it. As for reverse Jackson headstock I agree a hundred percent.

Subtle Comeback is my most listened to song of the year according to Spotify
i saw this and was like 'hell yeah'. very cool idea for a vid
The Gibson-style Epiphone headstock is only on a few of their high-end guitars. The one you put in A-tier is still their standard.
The Cerberus headstock is similar to the Blackmachine headstock and is similar to a Parker headstock but reversed. It's also very similar to the Skervesen headstock. It's cool, nevertheless...
dont forget ormsby
"i like traditional styles , kind of just me" but doesnt like the tele lol
>" i like traditional style and traditional stuff"
>Puts telecaster (the first commercially sold solid body guitar) in D tier
Caparison headstock should be included as well. I love the the devil's tail look.
Love the johnny bravo reference 🫡👽
To each their own, I guess. My S tier always been reverse everything. Reverse fender headstock, reverse Ibanez headstock, reverse ESP, Jackson pointy headstock....
I hate how much you’re rushing through this video. Fucking chill man. You’re giving me anxiety.
lol the wolfgang headstock is my favorite because it looks like Eddie cut the end knob off a fender headstock with a jigsaw just so it's clearly not fender lol

The most important thing is a les Paul style guitar should never have six in line tuners. And a strat style guitar should never have 3x3 tuners
2:17 midwest emo fans sobbing for the 5th time this day
#1 Jackson. #2 ESP. #3 G&L
Yooo, what about the big ibanez 3+3 headstock?? I think it looks sick on those icemans!
Forgot the coolest of all time: the ESP Horizon 6 in line Headstock
Some of the ltd and schecter like...800-1000 dollar range super strats are among my favorites. Love h200 headstock
Favorite for me ESP snapper , it's like a 60s strat but metal ;)
Only one adjustment... Hockey Head is "S"... Eddie's 5150 Kramer was the GOAT of all guitars IMO
ESP Horizon / Mayones & Skervesen headstocks must be SS Tier
My opinion is that you missed some significant models like Schecter 6 in line, Schecter Diamond 3-3 that is kinda close to PRS, Schecter 3-3 that fits with Gibson, Yamaha Pacifica, Ibanez AR, PRS ST style, Washburn reverse 6 in line (Nuno, Ola Englund), Mayones, Framus 3-3, Framus 6 in line...
surprised to see no ormsby harpoon headstock
Any tips on fixing the tuning issues with les Paul’s?
agree about Tele's....worst looking guitar ever and that headstock is UGH. Agree with the 60's Strat headstock...amazing
You forgot the dean headstock with 6 in a row and the ESP headstock with 6 in a row
No parker fly headstock?
For me top three would be Ibanez, solar and prs.
But I would add Ibanez reverse and Jackson pro plus modern since I have those along with the regular Ibanez.
I would also add schecter. The Damien style one. Know it comes on a few of their models
You just forgot the best headstock of all time: ESP reversed headstock. Yes, similar to the Jackson reversed, but still man.. ESP 😃
@@matranga Exactly! And ESP and Jackson pointy designs are completely different in my opinion. Jackson’s aesthetic screams the ’80s and early ‘90s-classic old school metal, Floyd Rose, and shredding in standard tuning.

XRC really missed the mark on this one.
I would say it's 2nd beat behind the Jackson Reverse headstock, especially with the binding. Just looks more metal with it looking like a claw.
Great list but should’ve included Hagstrom’s headstock
I think the Gibson headstocks on epiphones are only on certain Guitars
How about straight string pull matters?
ESP reverse pointy headstock is S+
what about the schecter headstock?
The best headstock is not here. It's a James Tyler. Thanks for playing.
Reverse tele headstock rules
lol why does Gibson get 6 headstocks but ESP and Ibanez only get one?
where's the KL ?
Caparison?
Hockey-stick in B-tier whyyyy 😭
For me Solar,Fender charvel,Gibson Explorer S
Oof cannot relate to your opinion
When I was in my '20s I loved the '70s headstock...In my 40s now, and I hate it... Wtf
😄
Well i dont understand your point concerning the new Epi shape, the gibsony one... ESP and LTD, Fender and Squier, event Gibson and Epi (with V and Explo), has the same headstock for high end or entry level... The only brand to do that is Gibson with 3x3 headstock for Epiphone
ESP M shape headstock is the best!
GIBSON OVER IBANEZ IS GENUINELY MAKING ME MAD. But great vid
The Telecaster headstock looks better reversed.
"I like traditional stuff"
Puts Telecaster headstock in D tier. In all seriousness, I'm not a fan of Telecaster headstocks either.
Mayones and KM Schecter heads. S+
Squire and fender have the same headstocks. You’ll get over the Gibson Epiphone thing. It literally means nothing
All of the B.C.Rich snubbing on headstocks pains me. They have like 6 other headstocks.
Needs Aristides!
I think I’m actually gonna block you for not putting Ibanez in S
I think dean has the best head stock
Synyster gates custom headstock is s tear !!!!
Blackmachine is God Tier
missed A LOT of good headstocks man
30 seconds 👇
Tele is the best all around!
thats mean tonibanez hard s tier for me
Jackson A tier ?? 😅😅😅
Nu uh PRS is S Tier 😅
Should we do a welfare check with these kind of opinions damn XD
None of the good ones were included. 🤨
Your opinion on headstocks went to shit at 6:40 when you put the strat headstock in S tier. Its the same pile of trash as the telecaster you were just dogging on. Obvious youre not trying to piss off the guitar elitists who watch your vids.
Bro imagine caring this much
The Cerberus headstock is so ugly. D tear for sure. Yikes!
Dang dude I’m a huge fan of yours but I hated your takes here 😂
Rage bait
