Holy gemstones Batman! The wood Alistair nearly kept for himself and now I can see why. Have fun Scott and congrats!

.....and you didn’t have to stare at a box for hours and days so it could “acclimate “ [emoji4]. Just my dos centavos Scott, but the bridge looks fine. It matches the composite fretboard and the inside of the sound hole. It doesn’t look weird or out of balance to my eye at all. Having said that,I would imagine a transparent amber bridge looking stunning on that top (nope I take that back after seeing Capt. Jim's photoshoppery- the black works better IMO)

The neck is only something you can decide but selling it if you are not totally satisfied shouldn’t be a problem. Just guess in’

Well done!
