I generally prefer matching headstocks. All but one of mine have it, and that was because I couldn't pass up Glenn's Blue Dawn Axis Sport I have seen several colors that look sharper (in my opinion) with a natural headstock, like Rolls Burgundy. Man, that color with a white/pearloid/ice guard and a natural headstock looks killer

JP - yes
Axis - no
y2d - yes
Kramer - yes (unless Tommy sanded it bare for me)
Flying V - yes
Frankenstein - yes

The Kramer was painted?? What color was it?

The all natural headstock usually gets my vote. I'm a wood grain freak. I'd have to see all the combinations though - might change my mind about some of them!

Is he finished with it yet? Looks like I might finish restoring my '68 Barracuda before he is done with my guitar

Almost there. It's looking FINE too. At least, the parts I've seen.

You're talking about the Barracuda and not the guitar, right?

I love my avatar too, but:

When he chases his tail he gets all caught up in the guitar cord. Maybe I need to get him a wireless system. (rim shot)

He really wails, but he sounds like an alley cat when he sings. (rim shot)

He only knows one song - "Stray Cat Strut". (rim shot)
​

OK - no more bad jokes.

What?? No "Cat Scratch Fever"????
(well maybe one more bad joke)

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

Or The Brian Setzer Orchestra's 'Cat on a hot tin roof'

 

[Spudmurphy]

Does he know the old Beatles number "I'm Feline Fine" ?

 

[Beth]

Or the Elvis Costello song "Pads, Paws, & Claws"?

Fantastic song!!!

Speaking of these songs... I saw on the news last night "NBC Nightly News", I think, that there's an internet radio station that's for pets. I bet they play all sorts of songs like that. "hound dog", etc...

It truly is a great avatar. In fact, it's the Cat's Meow.

Uh... um, yeah! right! Say, I didnt know you wanted to make your Kramer a fretless. It looks really different with all those cracks filled in and - good news - he didn't need those extra left over parts he lost after all! so don't gas up the 'cuda just yet...

The 'cuda isn't going anywhere any time soon, the new gas tank just arrived via UPS today, and I just put in the new carpet and new seats (which I re-upholstered myself) on Sunday

You guys are kitten, right?

I like 'em both painted and natural. It's all about context. I LOVE my autumn redburst headstock with maple board; totally distinguishes it from anything I've seen before. In most cases, I like natural.
