While not my favorite ABG, it's one of the more unique ones. Little bitty thing plays sooo fast. What a neck!
But .... There's a reason it's my avatar.
NOTHING speaks bass guitar louder than this headstock! It defines the bass for me.

Hey! Fancy seeing you here!
Do tell us about that fretboard...
(oh, and you have to ASK for a number in this club, per @B-Mac's rules.)
I think we can let that ‘rule’ go.
Okay ... can do.

Sweet Kingman V2!
That fretboard looks gorgeous!
Did you mod that somehow or did it come like that?

Wow, those guys really have their options spec'd out well, and the PDF templates are great too! I had the block stickers on my SS Jag before I went all Jaco on it. 
It kinda bugged my OCD that they weren't perfectly straight, but you really could only see that if you were looking for it.
Wondering how Onyx on Ebony would look on my Blacked out Kingman...
But thinking El Dorado might complement the pickguard better...

The bridge will match the neck soon. I think that will bring the gold pickguard in to blend better.
How so? You getting a custom sticker for the bridge? I've pondered staining mine.
Spoke to the owner. He's putting rectangle sheets back on as a custom option. You trim to fit. Good for headstocks also.
Where's you get your non-destructive reversible mod thumb rest?Wow, those guys really have their options spec'd out well, and the PDF templates are great too! I had the block stickers on my SS Jag before I went all Jaco on it.

Don't see a listing for the thumb rest, but you could always email him. I bought that and a ramp for my Jag SS from him. Nice guy.

Queue ... Why is your bridge so light? It's almost the same as the pickguard.
Mine matches the factory fretboard. Have you ever oiled it? Just curious.
Speaking of pics .... Most everyone likes my Ortega. And it's pretty.
BUT ...
I'm not enough of a photographer to figure out how in this existence to take quality photos of the highly polished Ebony! 
Then again, neither does my very nice camera in Automatic mode, or my S9 Galaxy phone. The no longer used I-Phone can't capture it either.
So I don't feel quite as badly about my photography skills.
Then I try the Fender ... and it's a mirror. I see everything including myself taking the photo, in the photos
Can we start a non gloss ABG club?

Yeah??? Okay, but don't ask for great quality photos from this rank amateur!
