I tried out a 58 as well but although it sounded every bit as good the top was just a bit too plain for my liking and the dye had leached into the binding of the neck in a very nasty looking way. So I passed on that one and got the goldtop instead - and saved myself a few hundred dollars at the same time!
Looking at all these nice 59's in this thread can someone explain to me how flames in the so-called 'bookmatched' tops hardly ever match up?
I'd have thought that, if these are made by splitting a piece of maple down the middle and then opening them up as you would a book, the grain would line up along the joint. But that doesn't seem to be the case. And I think that would bug me if I'd paid top dollar for a guitar like that. There are a couple of photos here where the flames almost match up on either side of the joint but most seem not to do that.
Is there some reason for this? I know that every piece of timber will be different but, if any given top is made from one piece of maple then I'd expect the grain patterns to line up.....

I know it's historically correct but I just can't work out how the grain patterns never seem to match up. It doesn't make any sense unless the sanding process removes so much material that the initial pattern is lost as sawdust.
