I appreciate that Tom is willing to depart from the established guitar aesthetics, especially dark ebony. I love dark ebony, but the streaked stuff has been growing on me. At the end of the day it's about harmony and the fingerboard / headstock grain continuity with the bridge should be a nice theme.
Here is the headstock. No copper inlay, so the wood does the talking.

Nice marbling on the side of the fingerboard. I am admirative of the level of craftsmanship achieved by luthiers. Also Tom decided to dye the fingerboard blue, what do you guys think?

And I kept the bling for the end, here is the full copper blackplate under finish. We're going for gold hardware to match the color palette.

As always, thanks for following. Not too long before the big reveal..
