Dave1968 · 09-02-2009, 06:53 PM

Plain top every time!! But I won't say no to a flametop!

elliott5400 · 09-02-2009, 09:33 PM

plain top all the way, unless it's just a hint of flame

I love my SG in cherry, I love my Strat in sunburst and I'd love a Tele in buttersctoch (all plain figured grain guitars).

But a Paul has to be flamed!! (maybe not ridiculously but still flamed, not a big fan of the horizontal fiddle back flaming though...Just want Ollis R9)

I love my plaintop 02 classic! Never been into flames.

plain tops are for players, flames for poseurs
