You had the right idea with the gold hardware.  I have an all natural Jackson SL2H that came with chrome hardware.  I like the chrome, but my first thought was that gold would have really set off the natural wood coloration.
 
Real cool. Nice to see a guitar with a really solid 'theme' or 'scheme'. Not a big fan of those knobs (I think I've seen stuff like that on ebay), they look cheap to me  :dontknow:

Actually my idea came from a Jackson SL2HMAH that I saw in a catalog a while back, just with Swamp Ash instead of the Mahogany.  The knobs..eh I think they are alright.  I like the fact that they are shorter and stick out from the body less, but the pearloid inserts aren't really doing much for me.  I like that they have graduated "rings" around them, just not too wild about the inserts.  I wish Warmoth would carve in around the knobs like on my ESP carved top so the knobs wouldn't stick out so much.
Thanks for all the comments!!

A custom neck plate would be great too, know where i can get one? lol
I just happen to have a gold neck plate available. Sitting here lwaiting for a home........ :laughing7:
 
That is awesome.  After building mine and seeing such beautiful guitars that show off the wood, I don't think I'll ever paint a guitar a solid color again(unless it's poplar).  The gold makes it look classy and vintage.  Nice work! :headbang:
 
Wow, that is an Amazing build. Make sure to submit that one to the official Warmoth gallery too if you haven't yet.
 
Truly nice build.

I'm not a fan of EMG's but other than that the axe is incredible.  :kewlpics:
 
The Pickups are Bartolini PBF's.  They look a lot similar to EMG's but with a raised Bartolini logo on the pickup that didn't show up in the picture.  I'm not a fan of EMG's either, these sound much, much better than any EMG, active or passive, that i've ever heard.
