Which top?

[Silenced Fred]

I feel alone, I don't like quilt or flame tops. I think they look cool, but I don't want to own a guitar with one... :-

 

How about you?

[Shnate McDuanus]

I like flame tops.

[Silverbursted]

I'm not into quilt tops, but am at a even toss up between a sick flame and a solid color.

[rocketman]

I like flame the most. But someday I'll get a quilt...

[daveinspain]

I went with other because I really like painted tops... That includes bursts.

[MojoRedFoot]

I'm a guitar whore. I love them all. When it comes to LPs, flame top does not work for me. But somehow, it works on the PRS SC models. Go figure.

Thats the complte opposite for me.

I also love all guitar.

Minus ESP's. :-

[Riffster]

I like plain or very little flame but I do enjoy how extravagantly beautiful flamed tops can look.

 

Nathan I see you quoted me in your signature, hey, it is funny because it's true.

Even the one's that come standard with SDs? :-

[dem00n]

Yes.

They have like no orgnial desgins.

They copy Fender, B.C. Rich and Gibson all the time.

I told you I was going to, It literally made me laugh and snort Pepsi out my nose when I read it.

 

You are the only person quoted in there other than myself, its an honor

[MojoRedFoot]

Yes.

Like the F series?

 

 

I'm just giving you a hard time Mr. m00n :-

[Jantha]

You're not alone. I like plain myself.

[nikko18]

I don't like quilt tops but I like the other three options. It depends on the guitar for me really, LPs look great with flame tops, strats, not so much in my opinion. It just depends :]

[FirstMeasure]

On LPs I like.....

 

Dark Transparent Quilt Tops

 

Light Transparent Flame Maple

 

Sunburst (anyburst, that is) Plain Top

 

Except Gold Tops and maybe White I don't really like solid color Les Pauls.

 

Strats Either Solid Color or Transparent. Not big on Sunburst Strat, but much like a solid color LP, I wouldn't turn one down.

[freak show]

All three can look great.

 

I personally like a plain top or a moderately flamed top.

 

But I doubt I would ever pay 2 grand more for a flamed top...

[Hector Arcadius]

My favorite colors in Les Paul are (in that order);

 

1. Goldtop (I think it looks the best under the stage lights - not that I'm gigging or anything... #-o )

2. Flame Tops - (all bursts)

3. Plain Tops

4. Quilted Tops (the're a little over the top I think, but it always depends of course)

5. Painted Tops

[pippy]

I voted 'Other'.

 

I like both plain- and flame-tops - especially the non-matched ones - but my favourite would have to have beautiful flowing grain - whether it was flame or plain wouldn't matter that much.

 

As examples, anyone with 'The Beauty of the Burst' can look up numbers 8 6749, 8 6752, 9 2324..........

 

I can't stand most quilt-tops.

[LPguitarman]

I like Flame Tops with Goldtops running a close second.

[KL]

I like them all. I don't really like gold hardware though.

[Tim Plains]

I like all of them, if I had to choose one - plain.

[badbluesplayer]

I like Flame Top LP's but I don't like flame tops on bigger guitars like ES's.

 

Fat guitars with flame tops are like fat ladies wearing horizontal stripes - the stripes make em look fatter.

 

[Californiaman]

I like them all, but I love quilted. The bubbles do it to me every time.

[guitargreg1993]

flame tops. definately the most beautiful
