I bought a Shedua body off Ebay a while ago.  I am in the process of finishing the Tru-oil.  I am thinking a White Korina neck with Ipe fingerboard.  Below are some of the creations I made on Kisekae. 

Odd note: I searched "Shedua" on google for the DIY wood on Kisekae.  I found the exact body blank in which my guitar was made.

Option 1: Black-Cream

Option 2: Cream

I voted for the first option, but it's your guitar. Go with whatever you like best! It's going to be a sweet build no matter what.
 
Zircote fretboard with black pg, trem, jack plate, and tuners. Chrome covers, knobs and switch tip. :headbang1:
 
Shedua/Ovangkol/Amazique is one of my favorite woods. I almost was going to buy a laminate top once, but I could not find a good source for it.

I would steer clear of Ipe. Tubby.Twin's Ipe Gecko neck was truly exceptional, but Ipe tends to be one of the ugliest woods known to man. I would personally go for Gaboon Ebony, to keep the focus on the body and not the neck.
 
3 or 5 look best, so just pick whichever fingerboard you like best  :rock-on:

Pretty slick looking project

Ipe is soooooo nasty.  TT has possibly the only acceptable piece of it on his bass neck.

I tend to agree, but I think it kinda works with that shedua...

I was thinking the same thing too.  Which is why I was considering it for this build.  There are 2 in the unique choice that have almost a maple color

The others are kind of greenish :sad1:

I am honestly torn on this one.  I know I want to do a black/cream thing with P90's.  I'm probably going to do a 24.75" scale with a Warmoth headstock too.  Just can't figure out the exact combination.

Thanks for all the input!
