Yes, I'd seen his posts and beautiful guitars elsewhere for some time, but thought it was amusing to see him listed as a "junior member", like some 13 year old wannabe! Hence writing "kidding" afterwards, plus the wink.....

I'm still puzzled by the use of the word "realistic" referring to tops, with the opposite "unrealistic" (like some sort of negative attribute) applied to many of the most stunning flametops. There are a number of originals with monster tops, and I believe it would have been more if there had been a steady supply of the most figured maple. So there's nothing "unrealistic" about strong flame, whatever current tastes are.....
