It was never meant to be a replica... but the reasoning was two fold: Joe wanted something that was prettier than the ash, and something that was a little brighter sounding (I think I did read that Bob wanted a bit brighter sound than he was getting with the Fancy), so we settled on the flame maple.

Here's a pic of the layers... Walnut, maple,walnut, wenge, maple and the same mirrored. You can't see the flame of the core very well yet, it's very rough, just hit with a file.

There sure is plenty of action in the walnut.

Here's the top plate. It's not glued on yet, as I plan to do the inlay first. The brown discoloration on the lower half is a bit of a slip with the saw (it's only about 1/32" deep)... it'll be gone when it's shaped.
