Matching!

I would prolly choose matching first then normal, depends on the guitar.

I wish 'reverse' was an option.

as in paint the back of the headstock? or a natural body and coloured headstock?

this poll aint about headstocks fool, its about paint

id love a matching headstock guitar, but im fine with 'teh normalz".

matching FTW.

matching all the way

Non matching. It looks okay on some, but usually I think it makes the fretboard wood look ugly on rosewood, and on maple, well that's just weird.

I like them both. On some guitars/colours it can be overkill, but its awesome on others.

matching on rosewood boards
plain on maple boards, unless it's a very pale colour.

but mostly it's matching ftw.

Agreed.

Yeah, it depends on the body color and fretboard wood. Example: almost all guitars with a maple fretboard and matching headstock look weird. Dark colors are the only exception to this (black, charcoal grey, etc.). I voted "no preference" because of this.

i love matching headstocks, but i don't have any. all of my fenders are sunburst except the js. there was one time i wanted to trade my CIJ burst jaguar for a CAR w/matching i saw at the shop for a few weeks, but that's the closest i've come to pursuing a matching headstock. i have too much sentimental attatchment to my jag to ditch it for something exactly the same but 'pretty.'
matching stocks are a luxury to me, not a deciding factor or necessity.

love matching headstock...
but depanding on colour...
