possumkiller's post on headstocks @ strat-Talk
that "hump" he is talking about (to the left of the low E tuner). i have noticed that before on both late 60s and early 70s telecasters.
according to what he found, it seems the big headstock is longer past the nut than either musikraft or FMIC is currently producing them.

I am curious though, would you buy one if it was half the price? Like, would you forgive that small detail if it was only 1300EUR?
Ngl, while I'd ought to spend 2599€ on something else, like a Volvo 740 or something, if it was to the same level of standard as far as reissues go as the AV65 (single line Klusons aside hehehehe) , I think GAS would've overcome my senses and I'd try and work something out. Now all I can do is wait until we get to see it up close, but the likelihood of me getting one is 1/3 instead of 2/3, and that last third is only because of finances lol. Hbu, are you actually hyped about it and considering setting aside some beans for one this fall/winter? A custom colour metallic B&B has always been my jam so the LPB would have been the obvious purchase for me. And to answer your question, at 1300€ I'd buy it, glue a piece of wood to the headstock, add a veneer on the backside, saw the right shape out of and refinish the headstock lol.
Actually that question goes out to every miserable person still reading my posts: are you gonna get the guitar Y/N?
Woah, please link to that, sounds like just my kind of people who are out there comparing CBS headstocks between two models during the same years.tamerofbantha wrote: ↑Thu Sep 29, 2022 10:29 amdoes anyone know if the 66-67 big headstock shape of a strat is identical to that of a 66-67 big headstock JM? there was a kerfuffle over @ strat-Talk about this and one of the members over there pointed out some interesting discrepancies in the dimensions (stuff even the Fender custom shop missed, for example).
My take? I don't think so, but I am prepared to be enlightened.
