The classic Fender headstock is one of the most distinctive shapes in the world of guitar design; even non-musicians know that they're looking at a Fender guitar.
Though I tend to favor hollow-body guitars, I consider Leo Fender a genius, and his designs have passed the test of time. A new Telecaster, Stratocaster or Jazzmaster is nearly identical to its 1950, 1954 or 1958 introductory version. They're great examples of how form follows function.

Well-said, good crossfolf! Often imitated, truly the sincerest form of flattery.
