If you're gonna paint the headstock, methinks both maple and rosewood will look fine. With an unpainted headstock, in rosewood, you've got a three-tone tele from the front :: emerald, rosewood, then maple. IMHO three tones in a guitar is unbalanced. But with the same colour on both the headstock and the body I reckon the colour of the fretboard is irrelevant.

If someone held a gun to my head I'd say RW - because for some obscure reason the darker coloured bodies seem to agree with the darker coloured fretboards ... to a point.

But I see your sparklecaster collection is all maple...
