Anyone else love natural wood color tops?

[moreles]

Nope. Maple and ash look kind of cruddy under a clear finish, but the darker woods look OK. I see the natural approach to be simply a missed opportunity for creating something deeper and more beautiful.

 

[Leee]

I've a few.

I had a T-40 identical to that one.

What’s the story on the first guitar with P-90s and the Shiner sitting in front?

my favorite is natural light wood with a beautifully figured horizontally pronounced grain as in photos 1, 3 and 21

I love them….as long as they don’t live n the opening page for 14 years.

 

[Sunflake]

Not mine but nice. Especially the Epi!

The back (redwood burl) is really wild in sunlight

I love natural finish plain tops. Here's my recently purchased Lefty 1980 LPC with factory natural finish.

This was supposed to be black, but I saw a Linseed Oil guitar just before we were going to paint so I decided to try it.

 

[TXOldRedRocker]

I like the ones that are the wood's natural color, like the guitar in the OP. A guitar that looks like a piece of furniture, can't stand. It's an absolute NO from me.

Yes.


NO.

 

[Leee]

Wasn't Mick Ronson's LP natural?

Not originally.
He had it stripped.

 

[LeftyF2003]

Yup
