School Me on Growth Rings

[László]

You should try both. Game changer.

What makes you think I haven’t?

I have a Private Stock in a leather case.

I never knew these were growth rings. I thought they were pyjama stripes.

NICE!! Game over.

I’m not really into wood. I’m into leather.

So, you'll be rockin' a snakeskin model Charvel on our Old Guys Metal album! Sweet! That's the cover pic.

Lol no no far from it. Those are merely pyjama stripes.

This here. This is truly game over.

One of my buddies calls it "two-way flame."

Enjoy! (MEQ)

Not going to opine on the state of the game, except to say that, with 3 decades of PRS guitars out there, it's hard to imagine the game ever being over. But this beautiful guitar is interesting to me, in the way that my original question of about quilt was. If I'm reading the top correctly, the growth rings are generally lighter than the dark parts of the flame and darker than the light parts. Curious.

I can respect that. Myself, I prefer Latex

One thing I like about growth rings is that they make it look more organic and "wood-y" to me, looks like proper timber.

 

[Huggy Love]

I'm planning my future PS with this as the top.

Everyone’s gotta have a thing, right?

 

[elvis]

I recommend against growth rings. Stick to guitars made from trees that are less than one year old.

We’re not here to judge, just to be supportive! (Like latex)

 

[Huggy Love]

I still can't shake the sight of that spalted.

I also like them straight up and down...

And can’t wait to see what they look like circular...

 

[shinksma]

I love wood that looks like wood - the vertical grain lines or whatever.

I also love wood that looks nothing like wood - flames, or ocean waves, or a nice soft quilt, yet I know that it comes purely from the way the wood grew and was stained.

This thread is making me want to drool all over my PRSi, gazing at their lines and curves...
