Jcbandmellie Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Hi all Thinking about getting a custom Prospect built, so looking at specs. Did i read somewhere that Heritage do a bound 'oversized headstock' option? Anyone know how these compare to the usual headstock? Got any photos? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRich Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 There are different size headstocks. If you compare the standard 535 to the Roy Clark model, you will see the difference. Just go to the website, the 555 and RC are next to each other under semi hollows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRich Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 A certain person recently obtained a 555 with a special large headstock. Its a sweety, too! And I'm STILL green with envy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavesNotHere Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I'm still stunned Rich! Here is my 555 with the oversize head stock with my 150 with a normal head stock. I think the larger size looks to be in better proportion to the larger body size of the 555. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schundog Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Dave, I really wish I could have seen you win that thing! With the bound headstock, that baby is off-the-hook Bad-Ass!! My 575 has a larger headstock than my other Heritages, but the binding of the headstock on yours really makes it pop. One thing I know is, this thread is giving me Triple-Nickel G.A.S.!!

High Flying Bird Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 It doesn't matter when you play them. It all feels the same. The larger headstock guitar I have played didn't give me enough more or less counter weight than the standard when doing tremolo and shaking the neck. It is all cosmetic. But with Heritage guitars the cosmetics seem to mean something. That is another thing that makes them special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big bob Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 The prospect that Katie built for Todd has an oversize headstock. I Bet bird or someone else has a picture of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitfiddler Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I bet even the Heritage headstock haters would like the larger version...maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
