Bongos with non-matching headstocks

[Transverz]

Do all Bongos now have matching headstocks? Most of what I see has matching, but then from time to time I'll see ones with black headstocks. Is the black headstocks (on non-black Bongos) a thing of the past?

Black headstocks are standard on (a) black Bongos and (b) limited edition model Bongos, like the Envy Green and Radiance Red.

That's probably why you see the occasional black headstock.

Radiance Red LE and Envy Green LE Bongos all have black headstocks. Those are the only ones I know of that have the black LE headstocks.

Thanks for the info! But...

Why black headstocks on these limited edition ones? Do I not get some sort of secret handshake or something? Or does EBMM just love being different and making matching headstocks the regular and different color from the body headstocks something special? hehe... you crazy guys you...

Pshaw. My Bongo is in Ed Lim black.

i think its because they make the logo and all that gold and it looks more dramatic on black

that's what i thought too, a black background would make it more contrast
