Headplates are also called as Peghead. The main function of headplate is to house the pegs and hold the string at the head of the instrument. HeadPlates are placed by the headboards or machine heads. Machine heads are commonly used to tune the instrument by adjusting the tension of the strings. HeadPlates are similar to fingerboards in terms of their functioning. In most of the cases headplates and fingerboards are made from the same material with high-density woods.
