Help Me Decide - Charvel Custom Shop Order

Matching headstock or no?

[Richard W]

Yes

[toejam]

I like both, but I'm gonna say no.

[Ward]

I'm with toejam.

[Predator1]

No.

[Carbuff]

Bare, I say no. But Id bet that a white charvel logo might look awesome and set off the body binding too.

I love matching headstocks, but with the body binding matching a natural maple neck, the natural headstock looks better unless you get the headstock bound as well, but that looks weird on a strathead.

I almost ordered a hum single too, but I use the single so little that I opted for just a 1 hum.

In my case, the painted headstock looks better, cept it ain't gonna say Jackson:

[Devotee]

I'm gonna say yes, the matching headstock looks less vintage if you ask me. Depends on the vibe you're going for though.

[Johnnyryche]

Yes, go with the matching head.

[BigE13]

I think yes, the painted headstock balances out the guitar and a white logo on there would look killer and also balance the body binding...

[shreddermon]

About 50/50 - so far, you guys aren't helping much to make this decision. LOL

Xeno pretty much nailed my dilemma - I prefer a matching headstock for this one, but think the overall design might look better with a plain headstock to better match the body binding. ...Maybe I should just ditch the binding, instead.

BTW, for those advocating for a white logo: that might look cool with white-ish ivoroid binding. However, I'm planning for cream binding to better match the PUs and maple neck. So it'll have a gold logo, which will match the hardware. ...well, I mean it'll be gold assuming a matching head. LOL

Painted with a gold logo would look sweet!!... But I might be biased : )

[shreddermon]

Nice! That's a helluva pic.

[MikeStrat]

Let's see the bottom part of those guitars. I'd have to go natural neck on the red one.

Here ya go!
