I also found one of the logo discs I had made about 7 years ago. Its pearloid with my logo laser cut into it. That's now at the top of the headstock with some black epoxy filling the letters. I did consider having a Gibson style logo, but sod that, this will proudly display its not a Gibson

I'll say it again, it's a shame you're going to colour the body as that mahogany looks incredible as is! Though I'm sure it'll look even more equally awesome painted.

The decision is based on a known ability to get good results with solid(er) colours, a desire not to look like a recent Gibson model whilst keeping an eye on potential resale market. I feel a black or oxblood top will sell easier than a PB, not the primary concern, but a concern nonetheless.
Oxblood can normally pass for black, but not quite. Its in the right palette for a blacktop which I love.
Only issue with oxblood is the strong Beck links, so I could go wraparound, but I still want mini hums so forget about Jeff, its a non JB oxblood top 70's les Paul deluxe style, with long, but not wide, headstock and 50's ish style carve. Does that make sense to anyone but me???
The other option is making an exact clone and some dick pointing out one measurement is a mm out. I started with a riff on a known theme and that is enough for me.
