I'm thinking about putting together a guitar with some odd and/or exotic wood combinations. Has anyone ever used Purpleheart wood for anything before?

Yeah, I definitely smell a pork product of some type. -
Purpleheart has been used for fretboards, inlays, and stringers in laminated necks (5 and 7-piece necks).
Be aware that exotic woods are difficult to work with if you're doing it yourself - some woods contain so much resin that they gum up saw blades and sading pads and other tools, and can take forever to dry when painted/finished.
If you're paying someone else to do it, they'll charge you heavy for the extra workload of using those materials.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood
The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.
