Lars68 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 That back is awesome. Great looking guitar, in a modern kind of way. I have never played a maple guitar. I wonder what it sounds like? Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanCarlosVejar Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I was excited when I first heard about this series but I hate the feel of richlite (don’t like ebony too much either) .If these would have come with rosewood f/b I would have purchased on in a heart beat. beautiful quilt maple though.

I was going to ask how you did it, but the thought just occurred to me that it could be screen shots and I was overthinking things. Anyhow, I see two faces. The top one is an angry tribal-clown, complete with big hair on the sides and top. The second one is directly underneath it, which looks like a sharp-chinned devil face. A third one appeared, too. A shrunken head on top of the clown in place of it's top tuft of hair. It helps to have astigmatism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) While I can surely appreciate the look, I will be the odd man out as that quilt is a bit over the top for me. Me playing a guitar like that would be like putting silk undies on a goat. I guess I am just a Plain Jane guitar guy. But wo cares. There are only two kinds of guitars out there- those you like and those you do not and it would get awful boring if we all liked the same thing. We do have four maple body guitars in the house. The maple body on my wife's 1960 J200 is very understated having a small taste of both quilt and flame. My NYC-made Epi flattop has a very dark stained maple body so you do not see much. The two guitars built in the 1930s though have beautifully flamed maple bodies with burst red spruce tops. No parlors though. One is an an 0 size and the other a deep body 00.

Dave F Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Just from my experience, I don’t think maple nor rosewood works well on small bodied guitars. That’s where I prefer mahogany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 That back has a demon in it. It is bad @ss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
