I like your build, but I prefer the backplates to be made from the back - particularly if you get a nicely figured back. They match them up really well now and it looks great. With a less interesting back, maple plates are quite reasonable.
You know, I'm thinking that is a good idea--the 594 backplates don't take up a whole lot of real estate, which also makes it seem like you're not "gaining" much by staining some small pieces of maple as opposed to letting the wood do its thing.
Thanks, veinbuster! I think I might just make that change.
