good looking 3 on a side headstocks?

I was doodling some headstocks the other day, and i've always like 3 on a side ala gibson, or most acoustics. but it's hard to design anything new that ain't uuuugly.

I like the Ovation Viper headstock? It's funky

I like these but I think the reason they work is the guitar they're attached to, and the maple on the Tele prototype.

Ditto on the snakehead Broadcaster prototype headstock. I love that thing.

I think 3 and 3 is almost always better than 6 inline, for tuning and aesthetics.

I'll second the Airline "Gumby" headstock.

Also,

And I'll obviously say this one

Saw this one on ebay last night and kind of liked it for it's simplicity. Wouldn't take much to punch it up a little.

That Teisco one is very cool. As is the Maverick of course.

3 & 3 headstocks confuse me, they do look nice though.

That thing is very nice. Simple but good.

Headstocks should be bigger. There's no reason that I can think of for them to be so small, and being bigger ought to give a better sound.
