These are the bird's eye maple spotting on my Kiesel DC400H fretboard. I have no idea what's the fixation on bird's eye maple, personally, I don't find them attractive. Then again, I'm not a fan of such features, flame stripes & quilts included.
Top marks for this - look at how well the nut slots were cut. I prefer these V-profile nut slots, strings rest better this way, very little room for nut materials from the sides to choke the strings during tuning. Yes, I remove all strings during re-stringing regardless of the guitar's bridge type. This way, I have better access to the fretboard surface for cleaning.
