scottcald Posted August 5, 2025 Posted August 5, 2025 GLWTS. Looks cool. Is the quilt headstock their thing or yours rather than totally match the body?

Jakeboy Posted August 7, 2025 Posted August 7, 2025 I’m not indifferent to it at all. Quilted maple rocks! GLWTS

GLWTS I have no qualms with quilted maple but I think @scottcald finds it to be incongruous with the metal flake finish on the body and I can see his point. I would have preferred it remaining as bare maple but it wasn't a deal-killer.

I would have preferred it remaining as bare maple but it wasn't a deal-killer. That's it. I think they both look great though, but just would rather one or the other, but then again, it wasn't mine and I didn't order or pay for it, so there's that. 🤣
