Alrighty, so I have a build in with Joe and the gang, and I need to pick one of these 3 boards. If you love PME, tell me which one looks best on this build. Whereas if you hate PME, tell me which one looks best on this build.

2 reminds me of my favorite fingerboard wood, ziricote. Love it. Of the remaining two, #1. For #3, I'd rather have zebrano.

2 and you're on crack if you even CONSIDER the other two.

1 or 3, 2 is too busy for me
I agree.

If you want a really unique look then 2 is clearly the one.

I think 1 or 3 is better long term.... I feel like I'd get sick of looking at 2 over time, whereas 1 or 3 have a classier look that wouldn't get lumped in with things like exposed wood bevels or vomit burst burl tops.

I figured since it's a relatively simple looking build, a busier fretboard might be cool to act as the centerpiece
