That's a really unique look. I like the simple natural satin feel of it and it's really cool to accent it with those little splashes of color.
I surely like the lacquered pots! I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Appreciate all you said guys!
As for the tuners, I find Steinberger Gearless a perfect solution for a lefty headstock. I have them on a standard tele neck too. Just did a sound check thru Twin Reverb, I must say that I'm impressed by the simplicity and the effect of Fezz Parka's tone mod. No more treble bleeds. A few more shots, sorry if I repeated some. Cheers! Darko

I'm not teasing, I did post the pics of the headsock's both sides. There's nothing special on it, no logo, I just painted it a little to balance with the rest of the tele. It looked too sterile as a very light maple with the black tuners...

It's a beautiful guitar, 6stings. I really like the Lone Star bobbin top, the headstock surface and the Plexiglas cover plate for the controls. Well done!

Come on, you're just teasing us now - you've got to show us a front shot of the headstock ...and explain what it is.
