I started a thread like this at the Alembic forum, and although there's more variety in Alembic headstocks, Rickenbackers certainly have their own charm and variation, even if we only stick with 4001's and 4003's. So let's see 'em!!!

I think I commented on this one on your facebook, but I just noticed the water in the background! Nice! (And the headstock is beautiful of course!)

Definitely a good thing! The comparison engine is amazing. But I thought it would be fun to share here!

Thanks. I may have more side by side shots, but I was under the impression only headstocks were welcome...let me know if you want more!

We might have to have a separate "comparison shot" thread! Let's keep this one to headstocks...
