If the headstock binding is white, then I think it will look fine on a white headstock. However, IMO the ususal ivoriod binding looks odd on a white headstock. A bit like the creme pickups on a white KV2T. E.g., here's an SLS3 in white with ivoriod headstock binding:

white on white binding looks great. i think the guitar would look weird WITHOUT the binding. that being said, i would go with black hardware myself.

But what do you think about the black one vs the white one?

I like the white guitar, but you don't really want to take a poll on as big a spec as that for your custom shop order, do you? Deep down you must have a preference.

I like the white. And if you like gold hardware, then get it. It looks very good with the gold as well.

The thing is I like them both. If I had the money I'd get them both.
