That’s ebony and curly maple. In this case I think it’s ebony board with curly maple laser cut and inlaid into it. It’s not PRS doing it, there’s a company specialized into this

Sweet top!

Thanks !

Believe it or not it took me forever to settle on that top
It was the most chatoyant of all by far, but not the curl orientation I was necessarily aiming for.
Ideally I wanted a reverse chevron orientation with more irregular curls, there was one top that fit the bill but it was nowhere as chatoyant or as strongly figured.
It was also a bit darker which concerned me as the red glow could have ended up darker and not as vivid.

In the end I'm very happy with that top.

That’s the one I couldn’t remember! Figures.
They look like the one.

 

[Gyakuto]

It’s too frightening. I wouldn’t be able to play open chords for fear of evilness!

 

[clmazza]

Stunning!!!
