What do you think about this?

Sounds interesting.

Also sounds like you need to consider clashing wood grains, as you'll have 3 very different types.
4 if you consider that neck and body wood often have different grains.
I am almost curious what you'll think of this, then.

Maple top, mahogany core, walnut back, ebony board, bubinga center strip, wenge stringers, padouk wings, with maple/walnut/maple contrasting veneers. 17 piece neck in total.

Or this one. Sycamore contrasting veneers, pau ferro, ziricote, padouk, and an ebony fretboard.

The other pic with three necks, has my 'signature' thing: 17piece neck shafts. From left to right:
1) padouk center, cechen stringers, goncalo alves wings.
2) cocobolo center, purpleheart stringers, ziricote wings.
3) wenge center, cechen stringers, goncalo alves wings.

I think it works just fine. These necks are my most stable necks, by far. It's not even close compared to the other necks I have made.

I used to watch your builds on the SD forum.

Those are nice looking necks. The grain patterns are not so extreme though, and the thin lines come across as different colors.

It's not the different woods. It's more about the combination of wilder grain patterns. It's an aesthetic thing for me.
