Congrats!

 

Love the flower pot headstck inlay. Always thought that eas the best headstock doodad Gibson ever used.

They've done a number of versions of this over the years. The one on my '48 J-45 is not a "factory" job, but it was modeled after one of the versions from the 1930's that was used on both the L-5 and some of the mandolin headstocks:
