beautiful work, love that cocobolo!. Are you using maple as the light purfling in your binding? How do you keep the cocobolo from staining it? I've always had problems with it turning my maple a little burnt orange.

I have never had a problem with cocobolo bleeding into the lighter maple in the purfling. I pore fill with West systems epoxy and it does not seem to cause any problems.

It has 26" 25" scales with the 8th fret straight.
