Charcoal Frost - Help me describe it

+1 on the matching headstock!

You could veneer the back of the headstock and do a match on the front.

Nice....

I think that's what I'll do - that last photo might have tipped the scales so much that there's no going back. There are lots of photos out there of matching headstock Jags but not so many with block inlays so it's hard to visualize.

When I ordered the pickguard (parchment, from Warmoth as well) I wasn't sure about which pickups I wanted to put in it. I already have a '68 Jag so I was thinking I'd do something different with this Warmoth body.

One idea was to put some covered humbuckers that I have sitting around. They were used on the old Fender Bullet guitars (see photo below). They're smaller than regular humbuckers but a tiny bit larger than, say, a Gibson mini-humbucker. I'll have to put them on the pickguard and see how they look.
