Wenge/Bloodwood is one of my favorite combos that is rarely seen. Very cool!

But let's see some good shots of the fretboard. No flash.

Sunlight. That's the ticket. Even if it's cloudy. Outside of a professional studio setup, flash is usually a horrorshow. But, with sunlight, even camera phones will return decent images.

Which start off inside with Fluo lighting & flash (orange towel)
to inside normal lights & flash (white towel)
then outside with natural sunlight. Really enhances the natural colours.

Non-flash closeups with better lighting (still mostly artificial, but not direct)

Loverly.

The neck looks fantastic.  I think it would look make the neck look better if you used satin chrome or gold hardware.  The contrast of the wood doesn't really go with the chrome for me.  Diggin the fret board for sure.  Very nice.

Chrome seems to be the perfect choice here.
