Me too! I think they look cool, especially certain styles (some more than others). I also believe the low strings string tension is better with more string after the nut to the tuning peg. Maybe it is mental or just coincidence but the string tension seems like it is less on my reverse headstock guitars.

I don't mind them sometimes. I've never had one. I think a traditional headstock like Fender/Charvel look better reversed than pointy ones.
