It's been done. This is a quilted top (albeit, dirty artist grade):

If I were PRS, I'd make swap your top. How would you ever know?

No, seriously, why would you waste a beautiful top by putting it out of sight? That's just mean.

I can see that. But to me, it's the ultimate test - is it about the tone or the looks? I mean, if I can say it's all about the tone, it shouldn't bother me to opaque a gorgeous top, right?









It would bother me.

Call me cynical but I've always wanted to take the "best" looking highly flamed top and make a goldtop out of it. You'd see the natural binding, but that's it. It's like a hot lady wearing something a little bit revealing, leaves you wanting more.

Also, I want to make a McCarty burst guitar with the plainest, most devoid of figuring maple I can find.

So much yes. Yes to all of this.

Some people just want to watch the world burn
