Bizman62 Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 At least your imagination is working! That looks much better than the broad stripes. And it still is an "easy" fix to make. Just to feed some more wood into the fire, how about this idea: put in the broad EIR stripes but inlay a strip of the curly maple within. Maybe even thin accent stripes around the curly stripe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think instead if EIR will use the mahogany instead as this will lend to the finish of the body better. Image for stripe size comparision. left is 1" outers, right is 0.75" outers and mid is 0.875" mk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
