Following my Samoth-ESP post, there were some queries as to how the former ESP pointy headstock look like since the one in that entry wasn't showing enough clarity. The one above proves useful.
This headstock design lasted till late 1980s before the current cut took over. The reason for it being dumped was simple; it looked too similar to another manufacturer's design so legal complications took place.
The final pic here is off the ESP website, note the slight design variation- the blue version featured a more acute break angle from the bass-side E string to the machine head post as opposed to its black counterpart.
