John, I do this all the time. It's easy to get a straight center line joint.

It's also a pretty good way to 'straighten out the planking' at the waterline or some other 'line' - for instance to avoid taking strips over the chine in a boat with flatter sections.
It saves a heck of a lot of fitting if I can just run strips 'over' and then trim them off later.... :-)

In his case there's no reason to do a full thickness strip. A partial inlay as others have discussed would be more than adequate.

I agree.
Guitar builders sometimes add the decorative strip in the middle of the guitar back after the back pieces are joined together (though it's easier to do it in one glue-up).
