Thanks for the feedback everyone! I really appreciate you all taking the time to respond.

I was thinking to keep the decorative aspects of this build on the subtle side since the Pink Ivory is so loud on it's own. Originally I considered a more simple radial rosette but in the end wanted some of Rebecca's signature wood tiles with a little Pink Ivory tie in.

Same thing for the headstock. I don't want to over do it but it might be cool to have a splash of Pink Ivory there too.

I've been doing mockups in Photoshop all along to help make decisions. The sapwood piece didn't make the cut for the reasons Aspiring suggested. Here's one of the headstock. This is based on one of Rebecca's previous designs but uses Macassar and some flamey Pink Ivory she has in her stash.

Too much?
