Oh, that's a really lovely choice now that you describe it - the headstock binding picks out the back strip and endgraft, and macassar ebony veneer will have figuring and tonal (in the color sense) values to create the visual interest to draw the eye to the headstock. Did you elect to put a pinstripe or purfling strip down the back of the neck?
I really love the macassar ebony on my Carter Poulsen - it's what drew me to it in the first place - so now I'm dying to see the outcome on your build!
