Beautiful wood for sure but over time it will darken and could become almost black. I have a cocobolo backed guitar that is 15 years old and it has darkened to the point of only seeing a bit of the figure in certain light. So, enjoy it now while you can as it is gorgeous. The luthier also gave me the option of a few sets that were mostly straight grained and quarter sawn. Working with Jason, you can't go wrong.
Best,
Jayne
