Anyone have any idea who made that guitar with that good looking headstock on it? It looks like a Bigsby creation but the more I look at it, it is not a Bigsby.. Thanks...Bill

[Bob Knight]

It is a Bigsby(the steel, that is)

After re-reading your post Bill, I take it that you are talking about Faron's guitar instead of the steel. I, like you don't have any idea.

I would also like to know.
The headstock on Webb Pierce's guitar is also weird. Maybe it was the same builder?

Those acoustics were made by Frank Gay, a Canadian guitar builder. Carl Smith and Johnny Horton also had one.

[Joey Ace]

Right you are, Jussi.

Here's some info on Gay Guitars:
