It's gonna have to be matching. Not really to hide anything moreso I heart matching headstocks.

Also have an old VI decal I got ages ago from Jimshine.

Almost exactly two years since I bought this mangled 62 VI on Ebay I've received it back. Headstock repaired by Mike Forrester, new vintage style frets and in Inca Silver.
His pictures here: http://s141.photobucket.com/albums/r56/ ... ?start=100
Now to reassemble and set up.... ;)

Certainly will Dirk!
How are you? I imagine you have another home for all the guitars by now ;)

Been working on a lot of photography this year. Pretty busy and lots of travels.

i have this idea that at some point, between all the folks on OSG, we'll have a VI in every Fender custom color.

inca silver: check! :)
