Thanks, the only thing that doesn't match are the tuners, couldn't scrounge up any black and brass ones anywhere around here so those are silver and black..
Fret board was serendipitous, came across a couple of dark pieces of poplar and snagged 'em. You can't see in the photo but when I hit the fret board with Tru-oil it brought out a quilted pattern.

Very nice!
Black tuners look good.

Like it. Especially the color coordinated mag pup and control. Nice looking relic looking fret board.
