Someone who is a serious glutten for punishment.
I've done spalted maple bindings and they were not fun. I can't imagine the amount of epoxy/CA in this thing.

Plus most of the highly spalted maple that I have had in the past has been very punky.

Yep-

One more unknown consequence of using/ingesting cocobolo

I think that guitar has spalted sycamore back and sides. Has anyone used spalted sycamore and is it more stable than spalted maple?

Here is the page with the pics for the whole guitar -
