This is so real time it's scary.
Now, Koa pins will really look excellent on the dark ebony bridge
good idea.

Hesh that looks awesome. That will certainly tie everything together. What are you using for FB? BRW too? |

Looks like Ebony from the pictures. Maybe a darker bridge would work out better as the binding and the FB and head plate are all darker. Do you have a darker bridge that would match the other appointments we can see? |

Great looking bridge and I really like the character of the wood. IMHO, I'd rather see it match the FB. Sorry to be the contrarian |

i like the bridge on its own as well, and it is an excellent match with the b&s. but also agree that in this case a better match with fb and head plate would look better. it seems sort of disjointed to have the fittings widely divergent in colour. |

I think the angle of the first picture displays the bridge at a disadvantage to its darkness. In the first pic it looks very light. In the others, it looks much more like a good match. In the first, it stands out as looking very light for the other appointments - FB, bindings etc. See if a different angle would display it better. |

[QUOTE=Hesh1956] Your guys don't think that micro-meshed, chucked in a drill press black ebony bridge pins will help tie the bridge into the ebony fretboard?[/QUOTE] Honestly, I don't think that would help. I actually think it would make it stand out more. If you can give us a pick with an ebony bridge to see the difference. |

I agree. looks fine. Either use the BRW or use ebony to go with your fretboard and headstock. (Personally I like the ebony better) The Koa pins are a great idea!! |

I see your dillema, Hesh. That is a beautiful bridge and I think it would look great with ebony pins. To me it has enough black to tie to the fb. But I also think ebony with koa pins would look good. Personally, though, I'd go with the BRW bridge with ebony pins.  Maybe add BRW or KOA position markers on the fb.

Yeah, but wipe the BRW bridge down again so the real color shows. Ron |

I love the bridge,but I`m not real fond of the fingerboard and headstock once that bridge is applied.It seems like more color to complament that bridge would be nice.But what do I know. James |

Well, since you asked, I think the BRW bridge and ebony pins...I'm with Ron. But either way, that's an exquisite guitar - as usual. Bill |
