Quilted Maple Top Worship!

[JustRob]

Noted. Though it is starting to look like I may need a bigger car.

You might just need a tour bus. And some roadies.

Good idea.

Good thread to renew. I don't think I showed my first quilt when it started.

"Oh, this old thing?"

You always got something in reserve don'tcha?

Always have to have a backup plan

You guys are killing me with this thread. I love maple quilt. None of my PRSi have it. Most have really awesome flame/tiger striping, so it's not like my guitars are ugly. And I have a non-PRSi acoustic with a fantastic quilt on the back.

I want a Holcomb (love the idea of those pups, the fretboard radius and material, and the tuning), but was keeping it a lower priority over other GAS I have, but maybe an SE Holcomb with a nice quilty top will scratch that itch?

It should.

But in case that itch isn't quite scratchable yet, here's some quilty goodness for you...

Holcomb-flavored:

And not...

The quilt and coloration on this one is WILD!! What color is that? Can't say I've ever seen it before, but I love it!

Northern Lights. It's an indoor cell phone pic - couldn't find the ones Brian took. Those tilt maybe a little more blue. It's a great top - there's a bit of color shift in it when the light hits it right and you move it back and forth.

EVERY time I feel satisfied with my collection, I realize I still don't have a Northern Lights. Which is a travesty. Goodbye. Going to look at guitar racks.....!!

@shinksma, to encourage your GAS to certain extent:

You need to post pics of this guitar in any applicable thread, man. It's too awesome not post all the time. It's one of those guitars that make me feel maaaaaaaybe I made a mistake on mine!

I share this love/addiction for Quilts.

My "Quiltuplets"

Crikey! Still blows me away when I see those all together!

 

[vchizzle]

I'm your huckleberry.....!! Great thread everyone. Loving these quilts. I didn't start out as a quilt guy, but the conversion is WELL underway!

I groped that faded indigo burst a lot that day I was at the factory. That's an exceptional guitar! Nice shirt BTW.

I actually remember you commenting on how amazing the indigo burst sounded even when played acoustically. I think your opinion pushed me over the top!

I DO love the shirt. I believe that is Brian! Maybe he'll sell it to me?!?!?!?

Dibs.

Uh, get in line.

 

[CatStrangler]

Yeah, I know its not maple, but I still like it.

I'm sure I've asked before if we can see the whole thing, and I shall ask once more.
