headstock
Neck's terminal component
The headstock is the end of a guitar or similar stringed instrument where the tuning pegs are mounted.
On a lathe, the headstock is the fixed assembly containing the spindle that holds and rotates the workpiece.
Both senses share the idea of a primary mounting point at one end of an apparatus.
