As far as I am concerned, coloured headstocks are the right way for all the custom colours - surf greens, fiesta red, Daphne blue, burgundy mist, etc all look great. Obviously not for sunburst, white or that toffee colour (desert sand?) but black is ok.
Agreed, with a few additional thoughts:
- White Strats look rock'n'roll with a "normal" headstock, sophisticated with a matching headstock. Both are good.
- Black Strats should only ever have maple fingerboards (but if they don't... then they
should have matching headstocks)
- As a rule of thumb maple-board Strats should
not have matching headstocks (but never say never)
- Sunburst Strats should
never, under any circumstances, have matching headstocks.
- The ultimate matching headstock colour is.... Burgundy Mist.
Wooo... there's some seriously f@cked up people in this thread... and I thought it was just Philly...
Come on guys, matching headstock on a strat?... NOOOOOO!!!
Get some help before it's too late!
:lol:
Good God man, you're a genius! Solving two of the greatest unexplainable maladies of this board.
A neck exchange, owners of coloured headstocks can swap their neck for one of the Philly's collection.
Philly's happy and these unsightly abominations are keep out of sight for the foreseeable future!
It is a very good idea, but, just to be clear on this before we start....
I have no interest in coloured headstocks for their own sake. I
would need the matching bodies. Even if they were just for keeping under my bed.
