Maybe its the angle of the photo, but the headstock seems a different shape to my Alden. Could that make me train spotter of the month?

Easier to loot and pillage when the defenders have their hands over their ears.... It's an Eastwood not an Alden.....unless you are referring to the viking helmet or the beard.....

The Aldens do seem to have a slightly different headstock, though they're not even consistent in the direction of the chop.Originally Posted by (Cliff D @ May 01 2008, 05:12)
Two pics from the same retailer even:
looks like 8 closed gear type tuners, instead of 4 on a strip open gear types, Eh? now if they are 18:1 ... great !

Hi Jeff, yep, you've pretty much nailed it: my Alden is like the one in the top picture although the high note side of the head stock is slightly longer again in relation to the bass. I should think the Eastwood in the initial pic has the lower design. The two strings of the D course on my instrument could do with a little more separation at the tuners, & I wondered if this had been an issue at the Alden/Eastwood factory. If they can play about with the headstock, surely they can start fitting a better designed bridge system?
