Which Stratocaster headstock design do you like best: the original, larger CBS style, or reverse?

And which Fender logo do you prefer: the "spaghetti" logo or the one with the fatter F?

I guess we could also include truss rod if anyone has a preference there.

I like the larger CBS-style headstock, but I prefer the older "spaghetti" Fender logo. I know those don't really go together. :wink:

So what's your preference?

Spaghetti logo and for sure the new truss rod system used in the American Standards

I like the large headstock with the late 60s logo including, "with synchronized tremolo".

I guess I prefer the smaller pre-CBS headstock with the CBS logo that looks like the one you see on amps. Most of the Fenders I own have the spaghetti logo.

I like the normal size headstock with the vintage style tuners and the spaghetti logo, but don't have a problem playing others. :wink:

modern headstock with modern logo. those big 70's headstocks look like the end of a bed knob to me, or a table leg. the reversed ones just look goofy to me as well.

I think I prefer the spaghetti logo, but I really like the 'modern' logo too.
I don't really have a preference as far as headstock goes, I love em both!

I like the big headstock a bit more than the small headstock.

I like the blocky CBS logo a bit more than the spaghetti logo.
