Headstock Logos
 

I was sitting around tonight wondering - Who has the most interesting head stock logo? We've all seen Martin, Gibson, Taylor... so if you have a guitar with an unique, interesting, complex or just cool headstock logo let's see photos. Mine are all pretty tame. I'm guessing the most unique and interesting might be the custom builds............. but let's see.

I have a Bedell with a hand inlaid wood logo that looks really cool. It's one of the nicest I have seen. I hate to be getting rid of it.

Baranik
 

I've posted this one before but I still think it one of the most beautiful. Although it doesn't have letters or a symbol, it's "signature" Baranik, and Mike (and Colin!) came up with a good one. Macassar Ebony, 'tree' quilted Honduran Mahogany, and spalted maple. Binding is Macassar Ebony; purfling is African satinwood; tuner buttons are striped ebony.

Kay used to have some good ones:

And, of course, the famous D'Angelico:

I kind of like this one:

I've posted this one before, but I think it's interesting and cool :)

This is the headstock of my parlour guitar made by Matthew Bascetta - the design is Matthew's logo, and the choice of turquoise and silver was my idea for my guitar:

Fliss

That's cool. I think turquoise would make awesome position markers too.

Wow! That one gets my vote. I also like the D'Angelico art deco headstock.

Like Baranik's, Michael Bashkin's headstock shape and 'non-logo' half-moon inlay are elegant and distinctive:

My favourite guitars tend to come without a logo on the headstock but I like Mike Greenfield's "G"

Jason Kostal's headstock design is pretty gorgeous

I love the Goodall flying G.

I love John Monteleone's sense of asthetics, especially on the blue guitar he build for Scott Chinery.

As for the use of Torquoise, check out a Guild DV72.

Here's another Baranik Meridian headstock. Onyx cocobolo (the black), Panamanian cocobolo (the red) and spalted maple.
