I don't think that is a true maple flame top? Some other type of top maybe?

Great looking guitar. :thumbsup:
 
Nice, congrats :thumbsup: I used to love the Arlington show when I was living out there.

Enjoy that bad boy :D

Agree, it must have been enhanced or something. having flame ride out to the edge is not normal, but damn that guitar looks KILLER.

Nice score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rock:
 
:jerkit:

Hey, man! Did you see that bitchin' Goldtop Deluxe? I wasn't there long (2 hours, has somewhere to be), but that was my favorite item of the show.

What are you talking about?? There are a gazillian LPs out there that have complete coverage as far as flame goes. That guitars flame is not enhanced. That's natural.
 
Meh...I think its just average. I'll take it off your hands if you want to unload it. :D :lol: :LOL:

+1

That's a great Les Paul.
 
Nice! I recently bought a LP Traditional Goldtop. I really like the 57 Classic pickups and the plek'd neck on these guitars.

Its a beautiful guitar, I am not saying its not.

I have some les pauls where the flame has been enhanced. They did this in 2002 / 2003. Not sure what the proper name is, but that guitar looks like its been treated like the 02 / 03's. So, thats what I'm talking about.

regardless, its a nice guitar.

No they didn't, the last time Gibson enhanced any tops, was in '99, and it was only ever done on the R9's.

That guitar, hasn't had any enhancements, it's just a damn nice looking Les Paul.
 
enhanced or true maple flame top or some other type of top?

I can settle this for you. Just send it to me, and I will provide a thorough analysis and detailed report. Be advised, this type of analysis is time-based, and could take several months, possibly years. The analysis fees will be waived in this instance, however you must also cover shipping costs. :lol: :LOL:

All I can say is

Very sweet! Great score, and I like Cherry 'bursts, this is one of the nicest tops I've seen on one that I can remember! :thumbsup:

Fixed: Core9, misquoted you! ;)
 
Nobody said it was a fake top. My only question was if was flame maple or some other type of top. I've never seen a flame maple top that the flame intertwined so much before. That's why I asked. almost has a Lace wood appearance. That is all. :confused:

BUT IT'S STILL AN AWESOME GUITAR. And if it's flame maple, WOW, you have a winner there. :thumbsup:
 
As a cabinet-maker by trade many years ago, but still have a shop and work on guitars. I can settle this for everyone. It is maple but not flame maple or tiger maple. this top is made out of curly maple. Don't get confused with birds-eye. It does look a little like lace wood but lace wood has shorter flecks. This is Curly Maple.
