I'm probably going to fail miserably but:
 
flatsawn zebrawood for the top
maple, walnut, and vermilion for the neck?
 
rest of the body is pretty impossible to see from just that picture.
 
How close was I?  Do I win a prize for getting it even partially right? ;-)

Prettier with finish on it:

It may be up to a month before anything else interesting happens to take a photo of. Once in spray, it's the start of the long and boring wait.

Very slick looking.  I like how the bridge pu sits on a bias.  The finish really brings out the color and figure of the zebra.  I can't wait to see it finished.  What color hardware?

I think this is the coolest piece of zebrawood i've seen. Nice.
