All done! Neck is oak and ipe, fretboard and bridge are cherry, fretboard markers are acrylic, nut is corian, tail piece is a brass ruler. Single piezo pickup.

Thanks! It sounds great acoustically too - lots of warm volume, which I think is partly because of the sharper downward angle the strings make over the bridge compared to some of my other builds. Gives it lots of string pressure on the soundboard and a great sustain. Not as thrilled with the piezo tone on this one yet - it's a little brighter than I was looking for. Think I'll try adding a second piezo in parallel to see if that helps bring it down just a little.
