I am going to bind the JB-L00 with Snakewood and use my typical flamed maple purflings. When I make a guitar for someone, I generally make the binding specifically for the guitar and quadrilaterally book-match them. I usually make 5 or six so that if I break one of the four I need I can still get the match. Thus I have accumulated a dozen or more perfectly fine snakewood binding strips w/purflings on them. Rather than toss them I use them on spec guitars, where no one has ever mentioned noticing the short coming. Perhaps that is because very few guitar manufacturers (if any) go to the trouble to match the bindings.

Here is the Amazon back with the tapered back strip that will match the bindings:
