Make the best fretboard ever?
(http://www.cookwoods.com/3-18-08-703PurpleHeart1of2.jpg)
I'm having an 8 made by Conklin as some of you may know and I asked for a Purpleheart fretboard when I first ordered it, just re-emailed him asking if he can make that a figured one + see if he can find some that bright, I'd love to have that actual piece, purty!

Pretty damn cool man!
You going for a purple/red finish on the body aswell?
-
Mmmm, i love purpleheart! Shame my tools don't! Interesting fact: when purpleheart is first cut, it is grey, but as it oxidizes/ reacts to the sunlight, it turns more purple :)
-
That could look very cool on the right guitar, and very wrong on any other :)

The finish is going to be the same and the guitar very nearly the same as:
