Dr. Killmore Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 For some reason I'm not a big fan of quilted maple or birds eye for that matter. I don't know why they both just rub me the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloyDZeD Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 http://www.epiphone.com/elitist/ The guy stated it was a Japanese version and had a Gibson headstock. It has the regular Elitist headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snookelputz Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 That doesn't look like a 'Gibson' headstock. It is the same as the headstock on my Byrdland. Well, except for the binding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel exactly the same way. To me, Quilt Top looks like some gross, melting, sopping wet silk blanket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me' date=' Quilt Top looks like some gross, melting, sopping wet silk blanket.[/quote'] Another one here for the anti-quilt brigade. I just don't like it, it looks a bit messy, I'd take a flame top over quilted any day. Although I ought to add that I somehow manage not to have a guitar with either top at the moment! Also - this is just a personal preference, and I mean no offense to anyone who is a quilt lover There's room for everything in my book! I do like plain tops too. I guess it all comes down to the individual guitar. But I don't like that Tak Les Paul - apart from the quilt maple I don't like the inlays - I think they clash with the bright orange top. It most likely plays and sounds great - just - for me - it looks a right mess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matiac Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I like 'em all, except plains, their just too...plain. My quilt dont look like a wet blanket, mine kinda reminds me of water, Christ I put a decent shine on it, and you'd swear you could dive right into it.

JRizZ Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 No doubt about it brother! Don't quite have the funds for one of them yet - but this sure fills the gap in the mean time: Lots of people dislike the Faded Gibsons. Not me though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JefferySmith Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I like maple better than mahogany, and I do have to admit that I like flame maple. And spalted maple. Has anyone made a solidbody guitar out of walnut? Very popular for gun stocks, but not so much for guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
