After "Tears for John" I am thinking about an 8string DW. What do you all suggest to be a great headstock on it to match the 8 tuners? Any suggestions are warmly welcome!!! Many thanks Oliver (Spyderman) byoung Senior Member Username: byoung Post Number: 480 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Tuesday, January 09, 2007 - 3:34 pm:    Knobby. Knobby peghead looks best for odd-numbered string instruments, too. Bradley PS-My opinion, of course. adriaan Senior Member Username: adriaan Post Number: 1201 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 09, 2007 - 3:34 pm:    I happened to be in 's-Hertogenbosch today and I walked past this wonderful creature ... Perhaps the wings might inspire a variation on the V peghead? senmen Senior Member Username: senmen Post Number: 613 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Tuesday, January 09, 2007 - 3:47 pm:    Yeah, I remember that Mica once said that they had buildt an 8string Spyder for John Entwistle with a V-peghead although I have never seen a picture of it..... Dank je Adriaan, tot kijk.....

This is my mere guesswork that using guitar peg for octave string and making machine head a little larger make it possible to install 8pegs on DW head shape. Then it might better to arrange 6pegs on upside 2pegs on downside. BTW, what kind string do you use on your spyder 8? I�fm looking for string for my 89SC5460 8string. Toshiaki
