Jackson headstocks should be reversed. All of them. Forever.

Meh... I had one in reversed and I always felt silly with it. I like fenders reversed though, and birds.

If my band mates piss me off it's easier to "accidentally" jab them with it when it's reversed :thumb:

I usually don't care for it, but I've seen a few instances in which it looks pretty cool.

I only like the reversed Fender headstocks on Super Sonics.
I think of reverse firebirds as standard and think of the "non-reverse" as the flipped version. Though it does look pretty good, no matter which side it's on, the "reversed" firebird headstocks look less at odds with the axis of their necks, to me.
