Very purdy! :D

But, it looks like some sort of accident scene with all those bodies and parts scattered around...
:roll: :lol: :lol:

Love those "Dagwood" headstocks on the ones against the wall...

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

How many different names do we have for these headstocks? Jwilli and I have been calling them "fishtails", I've heard "steerhorn", "batwing", "seagull", and most recently humor was injected: "Dagwood"!

Anybody else want to try?

The Splittail, or Sacramento splittail, Pogonichthys macrolepidotus, is a cyprinid fish native to the low-elevation waters of the Central Valley in California :mrgreen:

I always like a good crustacean on my sandwich... Gives 'em a little "crunch."

My vote is for Dagwood to be the official name, BTW!

But that's just tootin' my own horn:
