I don’t have a great view of the bindings, but if you have chosen Bocote, then you have gone toward the greenish side of brown. This usually works great with Myrtle. Now, can you afford to throw in some orange?

If not bound to colorful choices, I’d go straight to ebony. Black clashes with nothing—it always plays well with others—and it will show off the frets and inlay to best advantage. And then it lets the guitar body do all the artistic talking. Plus, it’s really tough right where you need toughness.

There’s.02 for ya.
