For the woodworkers on the forum.

Not my thing, but you give credit to the amount of planning it took to weave 3 different woods into such a tight pattern.

Very cool, I like it. Mostly because of the craftsmanship. I've seen some checkerboard tele's..

that would be a lot of work !

The tricky part is that the purple heart and maple are one-piece strips of wood going across the body that are cut in that pattern.

Yeah thats insane, and the corners are sharp, not rounded, so its like it had to be cut/filed/fitted that way. A lot of work I would think.

Very awesome.

For the checker-board tops - think cut into squares, glue up a top, then route the outline, rather than inlay.  The original photo in the thread is simply evidence for OCD + talent.

Yea, I made a chess/checker board in 8th grade wood shop; not that challenging...
That original guitar is real talent to fit all those pieces together :icon_thumright:

I don't know whether the builder actually did it, but this seems like a good application for CNC laser-cutter technology.

It needs a Floyd.... :dontknow:

Looks like a Jaden Rose.  Definitely need to add one of those to my "guitars to own" bucket list.
