Call me crazy: Big headstock Fenders sound better

[Spaced Out Ace]

I have several Stratocaster guitars with big headstocks now. I believe it is 1 Squier big headstock, 5 Fender big headstocks, and 4 Fender standard headstocks.

Agreed

That purple Tele is insane. Super awesome!

So, am I crazy?

My occasional reminder that Paul can go fuck himself for that Mr Speed riff. Probably the most frustrating, deceptively simple riff in the KISS cannon.

I always thought it was the bullet truss rod.

One thing worth remembering is nothing on a Strat was ever put there for reasons of tone.
Three pickups was just “ one better “ maple neck was to look different, the trem was because the tele didn’t have one. The big head was marking the new owners different cosmetic. The improved features were the three bolts and the bullet truss rod but they didn’t arrive for another 6 years.

press fitting tuners into holes a couple thousandths too small > big headstock
