What to do

I got this rosewood FB, inlayed it, sanded it and it's too "red" to put on the guitar I was going to. What do you think would be a good color combo to go with this?

I saw a Engleman/Flamed Maple GA the other day with cocobolo f/b, bridge, etc. and it was really really nice.... imho of course. :)
I think that would look great on a really white top.

that almost looks like Brazilian. I would use that with an ebony or BRW bridge. That is HOT!!!!!

What does the rest of the guitar look like?

Can you use the Other fretboard in your first picture? It might go well. That is a nice fretboard and the inlay in nice so you could still use it on another guitar.......but I think I agree with you that it may be too red for this guitar.

I think either that one or ebony FB and bridge (my choice). But it's up to the owner, this one's commissioned. I think I may put the other on Maple body and black binding, Engleman top. I think that's a combo of some other's input.
EDIT: Actually Darren's suggestion, thanks D!
