Juz, I wish I had some experience to help. My success so far has been 20% vision, 30% forum study, 30% specific advice received, and 20% luck. I was concerned how a dark headstock front would go with a clear neck, but I think it looks good. Proof will be when I get the neck onto the body - that's when I'm hoping everything makes sense.
I did take a lot of inspiration from how you made the body of your guitar look. I think yours looks amazing.
