Of those two chrome -
But what about changing complete gear to gold?
Then maybe explore black or pearl knobs instead of gold.

Should really see whole guitar - not just the headstock.

Of those two, I'm with Stuball on chrome. However, I'm sure ebony is much lighter so if weight is a factor, then go with the ebony. Either way it's a beautiful headstock you got there!!! :encouragement:

In my mind it is for sure, and without a doubt the chrome.
Yeah whatcha got there with the black buttons with chrome posts is called "clash" in fashion terminology, it's the equivalent of wearing black shoes with a brown belt....or a tie that doesn't contain any color element of your suit or shirt, also known as "busy": too many primary colors going on between the chrome, the headstock, and the buttons.
Also the headstock logo ties it all together, complementing the chrome hardware.
And you can see by the overwhelming feedback in favor of chrome that the fashion moguls understand what people subliminally prefer, with color combinations.
Color design especially packaging's a freaking major industry all by itself because it affects people on such a deep level, can turn 'em off to a product before they even known it consciously.

A fashion treatise from Al! Nice!

And totally accurate, too. I have black ebony tuners on my PRS, but the hardware of the tuners is black so it works.

Another vote for chrome.

Any color, as long as they are oval. All the other shapes are clunky and disproportionate. Buttons on the head are like fingernails on the hand to my eye, and if they are too noticeable they take away from the functional shape. None of the above work for me for that reason.

Now that I'm venting...hate pick guards too.

Thanks for listening.

Where are my meds?

I've got a set of Grovers in gold on another guitar that I don't play so the gold/ebony idea won't cost me any extra and I've got that combo on my LP as well which I like quite a bit. Thanks for the suggestion.

Right but the LP's got a black headstock and ebony board...conversely, speaking of fashion sense, wait'll ya see the cap I'm wearing in my next vid.
Gift from the GF so....you know how that goes.... :glee:
(PS didn't realize that was the 'burst which does mitigate the black keys somewhat... and just messin' wit ya anyway.)
