Yessir verily they are....Beautiful! Are they from the Pernie run as well?

Here’s an interesting one. Totally unconventional, totally mesmerising. To my eyes that is.
I suppose my brain is wired such that it speaks to me at the right BANDwidth. To others it’s a non ten-top and a refund is in order....
Thanks!I like them this way, much more interesting as you put it. I'm a bit irregular myself and regularity literally bores me. I need a certain amount of novelty or I lose interest.
Definitely a 10 top

Agreed. I prefer one-off looks. Why choose a top that looks like a thousand others?
Some years back, some guy started a thread entitled “Would you send this back?” It was a pic of my PS SC58 (see below). I had to chuckle a bit because when I found this billet in the vault, I carried it around for an hour before the specs were laid out. At least one other person must have liked it, because it ended up in the PRS calendar.
I noted that symmetrical trapezoidal band when you posted it a few pages back! To be sure, there is random unique and then there is artistic unique. This sure falls into the latter category I must say!Agreed. I prefer one-off looks. Why choose a top that looks like a thousand others?

I’m totally with you 11top, I love the natural beauty of the materials guitars are made from.
For example, a burr in a quilt top can look beautiful and most would pass it by as an anomaly that doesn’t fulfill their expectations of the perfect “quilt top”.
Likewise, the photos of your PS, that deep trough in the figuring that sets it apart from many others with the expected uniformity.
Gradually more people are realising that unusual is beautiful.
It’s just as well my better half did!

Absolutely! Any anomaly needs to be book matched. Well on the top, for me.Years ago, I attended a talk that Paul was giving at a retail shop. He was discussing the difficulty of finding enough “perfect” wood to sell his guitars. He said “You guys won’t buy a guitar with a knot in it.” I held up my hand and replied, “I would.” He looked at me and said, “You don’t count.” I quickly added, “As long as it’s book matched.”
Did you tell that guy to stuff it?

I didn’t. I didn’t/don’t really care whether he liked it or not.
However, Markie, Hans, and I have had the following discussion many times: If you like something that somebody else owns and is likely proud of, by all means tell them so. On the other hand, if you don’t like it, keep your thoughts to yourself (unless they are specifically asking for critique). It’s that rule your mother did or should have shared with you. The golden one.
Note: I typed this before I read the preceding post. Well said, TT.
You’re a better man than me. I would have said something
I certainly would if it’s a celtic one!“You guys won’t buy a guitar with a knot in it.”
It's funny. Its a personal thing, but I have never understood the appeal of flame. To me I've always thought it looked a little OTT and would be something I would be afraid of dinging. Probably why I doubt I will ever own a Core!
