Precision Headstocks

I'm patiently waiting for a Harley Benton P-bass kit, hopefully in a few weeks...

The headstock comes uncut.

I was wondering if putting a pre-1957 'telecaster-style' headstock on a later style body would be a style fail?

I'm also wondering about putting the 1997 'spikey' headstock:

I'd go for the original, meaning the Paul Bigsby headstock that Leo nicked when they were still mates.

A bit more swirly and exaggerated and when people say 'That's not a Fender headstock' you can say: 'Well, actually...'  then bore them shirtless for half an hour and when they black out from the tedium you can nick their wallets and spend the money on hookers and crystal meth.

It worked for Billy Talbot.

That's sorted then, I'm a huge Neil Young fan so by extension I lovb Billy's bass playing!

Plus it looks really def!

Shame I don't think I'm up to a candy apple red finish!
