That would look like the back binding and purfling running round the heel cap as a coherent band.

Thanks for sticking with this. I know what your saying here. You see that look sometimes on classical guitars where the back wood is just extended out over the heel cap. I would have a couple concerns in retrofitting that. One would be that the cap and the back are at two different heights and that joint just might not look "finished" enough. The other concern would be that it would become a mess if the guitar needed to get a neck reset.
Here's a picture of another Josie model like this one that has the Ebony cap
Please keep the comments coming, I appreciate the feedback. Isn't it amazing how much can go into just a heel cap?
Thanks Again
