Where have I seen that headstock before (Part 2)

Paradise Guitars, a custom-based instrument manufacturer, recently released a Jason Becker tribute model.
But the headstock could have been more original...

Headstock is Jason Becker's own design. He insisted on it when they did the re-issue.

regardless, it could have been more different... Lynch & Becker are great players in their own rights, not surprising if they think alike :-)

hahaha i see your point
did you also know Becker is also now paralysed? he has some disease and think he's wheelchair bound now..

i have Becker close to heart because he's one of the players who made me realize how pathetic i am when it comes to guitar technicalities. back in 1991 when the whole world was immersed in grunge hell, Cacophony's music kept my shred hopes burning.

i am aware that he's currently suffering from ALS, a muscle-wasting disease but still composes music through computer aid.

Glad you still follow-up on your guitar heroes Sub, kudos to you for that!

Becker is someone i look up to, he's one of those rare talents who possesses good taste & lethal chops. many of us who are immeresed in guitar technicalities become semi-robots, our music are devoid of melody & we tend to be regurgitative.
