I am debating between these two guitar headstock colors for my next guitar build. Which one do you guys think looks better with the rest of the guitar, the natural maple headstock or black? Thanks

black. goes with the hardware, and makes it look like a real 80's metal axe.

Black. I hate maple headstocks on dark fingerboards
Now that I look at it more the black goes a lot better than the maple.


I would normally say maple, for say a telecaster, but that is a modern looking guitar, so black.

Natural maple for me..otherwise with black it looks like a Halloween guitar. All orange is too much orange..okay at first, but after awhile you might want somthing less..how can I put this...'orange'.

...okay, I'm not rich.
I really don't think I would get sick of the orange. I wanted to go with something different than I usually would so I chose orange.
