I was talking to the owner on Saturday and he asked what term is used to describe the type of "flame" in his 60 Burst. Obviously not a plain top, but not stripes and not "flamey" as we usually use this description.
The best I could come up with was to say, it has "action".
When it is not plain but there is something there, you will see "movement" in the figure as the angle changes. The common 3-D effect of figured maple.
Whatever it is called, it is certainly not plain and it is very beautiful! :jim
