Bongo headstocks

I blame ceilings. Always too low!

I chipped the headstock point on my first Bongo within the a week of its arrival. Got that out of the way quickly. It's a white Bongo so I used a dab of Testers flat white modeling paint to touch it up - good as used! Bought my secong Bongo around the midle of last year and it's still like new. I'll get around to fixing that sooner or later. Finding a touch-up paint to match the Egyptian Smoke finish might be a little more difficult than it was for the White one though.

It has nothing to do with it being painted. It's pointed. That's the only reason. As opposed to getting maybe a scuff like you would get with a rounded edge, you get a chip because of the point.

Don't fret about it! Chips, scratches, and scuffs add voodoo and character to an instrument!

I've got a matching headstock Stingray with a rounded edge.

It's got a chip on the end of it.

Go figure.
