What do you consider "modern" ?

Cool Modern style headstocks and bridges

There are many different styles of modern headstocks, but it depends on the type of guitar. Classical guitars (nylon strings) have a slotted headstock and a tie-block bridge, while most modern acoustic guitars will have a "paddle" style headstock and a belly bridge. If you Google the subject, you can see plenty of photos.

Take a look at Edwinson's site. Love his headstock and his new Element bridge. I also like Mark Hatcher's newer style headstock. Chris Ensor has a cool painless bridge.

Let's see if I can clarify. I'm not interested in standard Martin-style slot heads nor paddle heads, nor Gibson-style heads. Perhaps I should have used the term "non-traditional".

Clear as mud?
