Has to be '07. I have a late '06 330DCM with a large headstock. I understand there are DCMs with both types of headstocks.dpowell wrote:Yep...I think they only switched back to smaller headstocks in '06 or '07.
Now we just need a GumbyGlo paint job. Hey, maybe that can be the next COY...wayang wrote:I think they all look like Gumby...
I've been accused of having a pokey head, but I know that doesn'tkiramdear wrote:My 320 dates from Aug. 82. Do I have the smaller or the larger headstock? I have the last photo for comparison but I'll be danged if I can say with certainty which one I've got.
I'm leaning toward smaller but can someone say for sure?

I know that the big headstocks are seen as sort of gross but now I think that on the hollowbody Rickenbackers they're more in proportion with these pretty big guitars. The large-ish head on my '06 330 looks pretty right, I think. Likewise I'm coming around the to the big, more-Bigsby-like head on the '72 Stratocaster. Headstock sizes seem to evolve sort of like lapel and tie widths, hemlines, and heel heights. Hmm, there's a term paper...
Now that you mention it Dane, I'd have to agree.wayang wrote:I think they all look like Gumby...
