Can't really help with your question but I will just say that the black top with ash sides and back looks classy as f**k! Definitely original and it comes together really well!

Wow man, this is looking perfect and all I see about the dings you mentioned is just a little white-ish discoloration.
Sick. Can't wait to see this done.
Hipshot make a shorter saddle you can swap in (lowest strings on the photo below) that should hopefully give you the length you need. Send them an email and I'm sure they'll sort you out. Awesome build either way!Don't listen to stewmacs guide re:hipshot bridge placement. Can't intonate it in drop A perfectly. It's a tiny bit sharp - Ideas???
