What is the dark part in the birdseye maple? |

The darker part in the maple is heartwood.

Body fully glued up and rounded over with 1/2" bit.  
Neck glued up, planed, squared and the finger board attached.  
This is a piece I bookmatched for the headstock front. (not glued down at this point)

But if you are talking prints then that is simply not true. I've been a photographer more than 30 years and shooting digital for almost 8 years. My images shot at 3mp can't come close to the detail in my 13mp pics. And you ought to see 24mp. Yowza! Strangely, I had a cutting edge, very expensive 3mp DSLR camera in 2001. Just picked up a Blackberry last week that has a camera with more mp. How times change.

How times change. | haha true but I think most people use an entry level D-SLR, so the sensor is usually a small size to shrink the camera, and manufacturers tend to push it too much for more pixels, resulting in a lower quality picture. Now in the full frame pro cameras, yeah you can go as high as you want because the size allows for it  |

And if I ever become an infamous bassist, having my tone tore to shreds here, I plan on that tone coming from a Redeemer.
