Love it! I am sure this won't be the last solar system inlay that you do.

(And the black strings were a truly fantastic idea!)

I had the pleasure of seeing the inlays in person when I toured the factory this summer, this bass is truly a one of a kind thing of beauty! Congrats on the COTM honor Eric!
