For me smaller headstocks make more sense and are proportional.I think those names of players you mentioned played any strat sent there way.One inmportant person not mentioned was clapton need i say more!

Love the big headstock. I found one in maple fretboard with maple cap and was jelly cause someone got it before me.

Yep, "In The Garden of Eden" was indeed the original title of that song. Story I heard was when the lead singer was supposed to record the vocal he had gotten so blitzed during the time that the band were laying their tracks down that he could barely stand up. They stuck him in the booth with the vocal mic and he was so loaded that he slurred the words and it came out "Inna-godda-da-vida." By the time he finished (wonder how many takes he had to do?), the entire band was pretty buzzed and they liked the sound of the slurred vocal. So, they agreed to change the name of the song and left the drunken vocal as-is on the record.

I can't attest to the truth of the above, as it is hearsay, but I really wouldn't doubt it a lot.
