Default Favorite Headstock Logo?
I think Taylor's Headstock Logos are very attractive, but I think my favorite might be James Goodall's

What's YOUR favorite?

Though I generally prefer a blank headstock. The Goodall logo is very classy, as are, SCGC, David Eichelbaum, and a few others that allude me.

The White Rose on the DDSM (of course, that might be more because of the story behind it). Also, I'd second the opinion on the vertical Martin logos like on the D-45.

I had the pleasure of seeing three of Laskin's guitars at the twelfth fret in Toronto. His inlay and attention to detail is absolutely breathtaking. Prices in the 8 to 10k range.

I like the Taylor logo and I used to have a Martin J-40 that was very atractive but the best headstock ever said "Fender Stratocaster" (small headstocks preferd)! What about the old Gibson flower pot thingy on old L-5's.

I adore the headstock on my Bourgeois- "snake head" I think the style is known as.

I'll just add what I think is the naffest design - Froggy Bottom. Their headstocks seem too long and that frog inlay just seems incredibly cheesy to me. They sound very nice though, and I guess thats all that matters!

While the Taylor logo itself is fairly nondescript, I love the variety of headstock inlays -- particularly this one!

I have eagles in the headstock of two of my Larrivee's.

They look pretty sharp!

I really like the way the Larrivee headstocks look. The silver outline and the cursive name is really cool and classy
