Default So close... and yet so far

I really, really like the Dean Cadillac and would buy one except...



What is with that stupid headstock shape
It's one of my favourite body shapes and yet.. that forked headstock makes me vomit.

Anyone else got a borderline perfect guitar?

Yeah, it would look rather odd without that headstock.
But I don't really like the look of it in the first place so it's fine

The headstock would be the least of my worries. Even Gok Wan (or whatever his name is) wouldn't give a body that shape any time. EEEUUUGGGHHH.

Is there not a DZ version - I seem to remember they have more tasteful headstocks but I think they kept some of the Dean body shapes.
