No need to apologize; it's a matter of personal preference.

That guitar has a small headstock for sure, and Grover tuners of a type I don't think they used for long- the mechanism body is quite long and rectangular, with an almost art deco ridged exterior, if 'm not mistaken. I also have an '06 330 with a bigger, sharper-edged headstock, but that guitar is much pointier all over. The headstock on it reminds me of the Combo 400 I used to have, similar size and a less soft-edged appearance than on the '82. I briefly had a late 80s 330 with a headstock that seemed maybe just plain too big, but I think the one on the '06 looks quite harmonious with the rest if the instrument!

Mitch!

Your Azureglo 330 is the reason I ordered my WB in Azureglo!

When I saw the "Every Word Means No" video, and saw "Let's Active" open for Echo and the Bunnymen at the Palladium not too long after that, you were playing your AZ Blue 330, and I thought Azureglo was the color to get! When I ordered my WB, I made sure to order it in AZ Blue. Thanks, Mitch! Interesting that your 330 has the vintage style Grovers. Those are cool, and, IIRC, there aren't a whole lot of Ricks with those.

What a small world this is ---- That's so cool, Paulie, that we were just talking last night, when rehearsing those songs on your AzureGlo and my JetGlo, and we were comparing features on these early '80's Rics and you mentioned the history of Mitch Easter and seeing his AzureGlo (opening act for Echo and the Bunnymen, twenty-five-some years ago) --- and then, like magic, a few hours after our conversation, and thousands of miles, away Mitch makes a posting here about this subject ...... totally amazing telephathy amongst Ric fans!

I really like the larger headstocks over the small ones.
