I cannot find a good picture of a Memphis Strat but I think you're right. Thank you very much for your help... :)

Mark Linkous was the singer/guitarist of Sparklehorse:

You might be onto something here... I don't know how to call the different parts of the headstock (I'm Italian) but the Memphis one looks closer to Mark Linkous' one. The "fat" part of Mark Linkous' headstock is softer than Fender's/Hamer's and the far end of it is more "aggressive" than Hamer's...

It could be, they had that kind of headstock...

Yep, and he did have an Ampeg amp... :)

Here you can see the rest of the guitar a little better (maybe)...

If you click on the second picture you can actually see it.

I'm 100% sure that's not a Fender.

A red Fender Stratocaster is usually listed in Mark Linkous' gear. Months ago I realized that the headstock is not shaped like the one of a Fender Stratocaster, it looks more like Harley Benton's headstocks. Do you know if Harley Benton already existed in the late 1990s? Do you know other Harley Benton-style headstocks?
