You might have come across this headline last weekend. It seems that Epiphone is moving on with the headstock design for instruments manufactured in the near future. Don't be surprised if it happens very soon, maybe a Winter NAMM 2020 announcement.
It would mean that this headstock is going into extinction. According to Epiphone, it's a 'maligned' design that's worth a revision. In a recent tweet, Gibson's CMO alluded to the fact that something closer to the Gibson headstock design would take over soon.
Even before this made headlines, you'd notice that the recent Vivian Campbell Holy Diver signature Les Paul is already sporting a different headstock outline. No idea if this is causing an endless wave of elation amongst those who avoided buying an Epiphone due to this design repulsion. Am I one of them? Hmm...
