Good tribute

This is Gibson's Tribute 70s Les Paul headstock, front & rear view. Staying true to its 70s attribute, we note the headstock's slightly wider dimension, more obvious if you look at its fore face. Love or hate that; it's the 70s. 

Now as we look at things at the flip side, note the volute which is absent in many other Gibson headstock construction. I like this feature because it strengthens the neck, in fact, I feel it should be made standard in all of the manufacturer's instruments because we read time & again how these headstocks snap rather easily in times of calamity. However, we are talking about 'Gibson' here, the name very oblivious to modern refinements.
