In a rare moment I succumbed to temptation and decided to put a bloodwood backstrip and binding on a German Spruce top, EIR B&S flamenco negra. Am I nuts or does anyone else think it might look good? The backstrip looks good, what do you folks think?

Given that the EIR seems light and orangey, and it is a flamenco, I think it works OK. Otherwise I am not crazy at all about bloodwood binding with dark Indian B&S.
