Re: Trans Blue-Flamed or Quilted?
It's a different figuring of maple. When the top looks 'stripey', it's flamed maple. When it looks 'kind of like boiling water', it's quilted maple. I'll try to find some pics.
***EDIT*** Found some pics! Here's a quilt-top:  ...And here's a flame-top:

Re: Trans Blue-Flamed or Quilted?
 Flame(left) and Quilt(right). These are custom Robin Avalon guitars that I had made.

Re: Trans Blue-Flamed or Quilted?
Flame, even though some of those blue quilts look badass. Greg you take amazing photos of those guitars.

Re: Trans Blue-Flamed or Quilted?
Mmmh... I love my flame trans Blue, but I must admit those quilted blues look nice, very water-ish look.

Re: Trans Blue-Flamed or Quilted?
The guy that worked at the Custom Shop that I bought this from also had one Identical to this but blue. I'm not a blue guitar guy myself but I gotta tell you, that blue flame top was amazing.
