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!
The area around the top pup was so flamed out as to not be believable.
I really got the impression that the guy at gibson who picked this out
must have been hell bent to get the best wood in the world.
Its flames have a depth to them that look to be half an inch deep when you hold this baby
In your hands. It really almost looks ridiculous because it is sooooooo flamed that
It is not even like a musical instrument anymore it is a work of art!
I'm not a quilt fan but that is one 3D top! If you check out Mike Slubs page in the guitar galleries, he has some nice ones as well. ( nice---understatement.)
whew, you can keep that for $10K, I'll find a nice fire-grained 57 Junior and have enough left for an R8...that harp bridge looks like something my mom would hang plants in...
I don't have a heavy quilt to share, but here's my answers to that one:
The Bengal Whore
The Excalibur:
And Last, but certainly not least, from the Monarch of Maple, fellow forumite Joe Ganzler, the one and only : GLADYS (yes boys and girls.....it's real)
Regarding the Ultima pictured here: Insane? Probably. Ugly? Most certainly. There aren't many L.P.s that fall into my WTFIT? category, but that's one of 'em.
the most insane top has got to be the one posted here a month or so ago, half tiger stripes - half quilt. I don't have the pic, but I am sure you know which one I am talking about.
