I know many covet a highly figured top, and I do think they are beautiful. I just see so many asian made guitars with figured veneers that (atleast to me) it takes away from the guitars that have a truly figured top.

Does any one else experience this?

I think this is part of the reason many guitarist buy asian over american guitars. Look at the price, then look at the guitars, and at first glance they look similar. Until of course you really see whats inside.

I don't know, just a crazy idea of mine. And just so no one can call me out on it, I AM A CORKSNIFFER.
