    Does it need more wood? While I’m at it, I lemon oiled the fret board today.

    The wood is just speaking for itself, I only clear coated it. I think I’ve got a wood tailpiece idea happening.

    I'd leave the gold tailpiece. It's less of a distraction from the natural colour IMO. But do what YOU like, it's your baby and it looks fantastic so far.

    I must admit it doesn’t look too bad in that photo, but up close I feel like it clashes with the pickup ring as it it quite dark.

    I would think it ties the darker wood elenents together quite well, Fretboard, through to bridge to tailpiece.

    if you can find a piece that mimics the grain of the board even better, id also be tempted to insure that the cap nuts on the trapeze are hidden behind the cover, if you go that way.

    Yes, something like that. After losing sleep thinking about it all night I think I’ll do a rounded end, even though I like the harp shape very very much.

    Missed this reply... I think we are pretty much in arrangement. If I had done a scratch plate I would of left the gold tailpiece... I think.
