Re: Good God, look at this top!
Certainly impressive, but a little too flashy for my tastes. I actually don't really care for quilted maple on LP's. Flame maple is cool, but not so much quilted.

Re: Good God, look at this top!
I guess Im looking at the wood and not the guitar. Still think its a beautiful top. Id love to have some of that wood to play with.

Re: Good God, look at this top!
Yeah, I am not a fan of those or other quilt tops. Hell, I don't even like too much flame as I prefer it to be somewhat subtle if possible.

ugly enough to stop a bag of........
in the next to last pic, if you look closely, you can see the reflection of a naked person, right under the strap button.

Re: Good God, look at this top!
The Pikey of Les Paul guitars.
I didn't used to like AA tops and above so maybe it will grown on me. But the inlay.., engraved pup's.., inlay binding.., never will. That is the guitar that shows up on a quiet beach with it's own 100w stereo, so everyone within five miles can share it's taste in god-awful music as well. And that's probably gonna be rap! Eugh!

Re: Good God, look at this top!
Is that supposed to be Gibson's attempt at a knock-off of a Chinese knock-off? I guess there was no room left for the dragon inlay?

Re: Good God, look at this top!
The quilt is attractive, although the other features are a bit much for me. I don't mind ornate inlays, but I prefer them to be a bit more understated.
