Fleck This!!

GearHo · 10-08-2009, 07:34 AM

Once considered imperfections in the tops of LP's, I just love the flecks visible in some of these guitars. I got this one from Mark's a while back, we went through five different lemon bursts before I settled on this one. Its an 07 Yamano, one of my better sounding guitars.

Fellow fleckers unite.

Here is one you may have seen around, un-flecking real huh?

Hey, that's my old one! And I absolutely love that lemon of yours (but I'm not crazy about the lemon color that year...too greenish for my tastes)!

I don't have a LP with flecks (yet), but I must agree that they look just OUTSTANDING on them. And I had to comment that you have one killer looking LP.

Paging Oli, Oli to the front desk....

Thats what attracted me to this beautiful 07. That and the figuring of the rosewood neck.

My R8 has a couple of lil' ones!

R'nien · 10-08-2009, 11:05 PM

Things I like about Oli's guitar:

Quarter sawn in the centre that opens up into beautiful flowing flat sawn grain near the edges.
Great flames.
A very nice tea bursts.
Reflector knobs.

Things I don't like about Oli's guitar:

It's Oli's guitar and not mine !
