Now this look I dig. I was mostly looking for ugly, weird or ironic mismatches, but yours are quite stylish. Very cool idea.s_mcsleazy wrote:2 of my offsets have black headstocks. one is red, one is white. i do it when i cba finding paint codes.

Me too. I'm going to paint the headstock on my hot pink Jazzmaster black to match the pickguard.amv wrote:Now this look I dig.

Black headstocks definitely have a classy look, so many non Fender brands use them I guess - Gibson, Gretsch etc. Looks cool on a Fender style too.

Add a gold pickguard too, that would be most excellent! I love the guard/headstock match look.preservation wrote:i totally support this idea as long as the fretboards aren't maple.

Re: Anyone ever deliberately mismatch headstock and body col
revived this old thread coz I put a TVL neck on my surf green JM build this weekend and she now qualifies for one of the weirder mismatches
almost tort but the oxblood is a bit more purple...
I kinda like it though
