My thoughts on this topic is that too many people are concerned with the way a guitar looks rather than the most important and obvious ... how it sounds and plays. I have had many Strats in my lifetime, both with large 70's headstock and the standard slimmer taper. It just happens that my current guitars have the large 70's headstock. I picked them because the way they sounded and felt in my hands. I didn't say "Wow these sound and play really good!" too bad they had a large headstock. I said cool these sound great and they are keepers. In any case if you prefer the smaller headstock I agree with the others , you can pick a great used or NOS Strat with the smaller headstock right now for about 100 bucks more than the American Specials.

How a guitar looks is not be the most important thing but I would not underestimate it.

I love the big headstock Strats and I want to see Fender putting out more late 60s models... to each his own I guess.
