Birdyvii, you could try something like this. If you picked the colours right it would look kind of like what you want, without sacrificing headstock stability.

Guess I'll chime in as well.
Over the years I've done a good many headstock mods for people. The only one that was a pain to do and turned into a total nightmare was a friend of mine had fallen in love with my Parker Fly about 8 years ago when I still had it. He wanted a guitar to look like it without spending $3000+ to actually get a real one.
The body was no problem at all.
The headstock on the other hand....
We were using a maple neck from Carvin. I cut the shape, sand, paint and it looked fantastic. He took it on stage, turned and hit the underneath of the headstock and split it in two. I wouldn't try it BUT....You might like this variation that should be strong enough....

The reason why Perry gets away with this headstock design is due to his necks being three piece laminates with two strips of carbon fibre sheet incorporated...
In answer to Adams concern re Chinese Maple, i agree. It is a lot softer than North American Rock Maple...
^ ^ What Db said ^ ^ :D
Parker gets away with it cause their necks are composite.
