• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

While I wouldn't "Take one over flame" myself, I have always liked a good plain Rock Maple top with interesting medullary grain. It seems to me that the non to lightly figured tops showcase the complete beauty of the Les Paul.

Those curves and as I see it, beautiful Mahogany and Maple grained hardwoods, along with the whole shape and carved thing really makes for a pleasant and beautiful guitar.

There have been some real beauties posted here.

I agree with Al. I know there is no flame on these guitars, but the lines in some of these shown are interesting and to me not plain. I can't wait to use medullary grain at the next party. Love to learn new things on LPF!

Here's my '99 Standard!



It's not quite a plain top but it's close. It does have a real light flame to it.
