What is a "headstock"?
The headstock is the part of a stringed instrument, such as a guitar or violin, located at the end of the neck. It holds the tuning pegs or machine heads, which are used to adjust the tension of the strings and thus their pitch. The headstock is crucial for tuning the instrument accurately and ensuring proper string alignment. It also often features the instrument's brand or model name.
