I'm noticing all of the painted headstock available.

As for the info on a possible new Mustang collection (thanks, MusicLaw for the post)
. . . here's a welcome for iOS and Android and yet, I only hope that Windows is included so that present (not directly but indirectly related) Daws and plug-ins, etc. will not be compromised by having to double up on OSs and their related hardware unless that is desirable.

I'll look forward to a move in the right direction. YMMV (so said Martian).

Great thread, Mike.

Not so much available as Custom Shop one-of-a-kinds.
That said, matched headstocks were common on Japanese models, and there have been some odd ones from US and MX too, so it's not unthinkable that we'll see more of them available. But these are not it.
I'm a bit ambivalent to them myself, because while they look good, if you have to replace the neck, you won't get a color matched headstock.

Also had a good long talk with the designer and owner of the company that Fender bought out who designed Fender's IEMs. These are really nice! They cover a broad range of sound profiles and price spectrum. There are two hybrid units, one with a slightly boosted upper mids for those who prefer that sound characteristic, or who's hearing may have degraded a bit and need the extra clarity around 3.5kHz to 4k. The top of the line unit was my absolute favorite! Even in a subsequent random listening test. They are magnificently flat, reference grade IEMs, with 6 transducers, and an absolute joy to listen through. None had unnaturally boosted bottom end response, yet could accurately reproduce very prominent lower end frequencies if contained in the source. Not every model in the line had the same sensitivity nor impendence.

I currently have Shure SE530s and like them very much. Should they fail, I would seriously consider the Fender IEMs.

The ear tips are also comfortable and provide very good audio isolation. They are quick and easy to insert and are not of the foam type. Thus if you need to pop them out to have a conversation they are fast to reinsert. They do form to you ear canal in a couple of minutes. The ear tips come in three sizes, one of which (I believe, the small) are also offered with an additional nipple tip.

The units are also offered in a variety of colors.
