I've always liked matching headstocks on Fenders, so I might just go for it on this build.
I'm fixin' a hole where the rain gets in..........cuz I'm built for a kilt!

I am pretty much a fan of matching color headstocks regardless of make and model.  I just like 'em.

The refin I have planned for the RD is in the bag, bar the experiments for the works, but the PC is still very much up-in-the-air - my daughter is studying surrealism in her art classes at present; maybe I should enlist her for the "thinking outside-of-the-box tank"... ;)

Bryan... the tuners are easy - all the hardware (including the pups) was originally gold and when I broke one I could not find direct replacements so I stripped the new ones down and fitted the "wings" on them, to maintain a bit of continuity in the scheme, prior to "Tequilaification"...

Bill... so many colours... so little time...  ;D
