Not only are they droolable, the unmistakable air of quality exudes from each piece. Well done gentlemen!

Re: Photos of Quilted and Flamed Maple Tops
Hi, new here and these are really beautiful. Could I make them at home myself. I am from Australia and I have some quilt cover fabric as well. I am just confusing in cutting! Any help?

Re: Photos of Quilted and Flamed Maple Tops
The OSTSB is my favorite of the bunch. Not a fan of TSB and 3TSB is hit or miss for me. Also like the clear red, clear orange, and honey burst.

Re: Photos of Quilted and Flamed Maple Tops
Those are beautifully done ... and far too pretty for me -LOL- I think I'd feel funny standing up with something that pretty. ..... maybe I feel like they expect less of me, with one of my "ugly sticks" .......

Re: Photos of Quilted and Flamed Maple Tops
Someone at G&L please do me a favor...?
Buy a case of imported Beer (recommend Kronenburg) for the entire Finish Department at G&L, then send the bill to me.
That is superb work, as good as you'll see anywhere. (That quilt w/ clear red....!! !!)_

Re: Photos of Quilted and Flamed Maple Tops
I have never been a huge fan of using figured tops on strat and tele shaped guitars but these are insane. Every guitar is stunning.
G&L has some great people working in the shop with wood selection. Keep the pictures coming!

I am shortly going to order my custom build comanche. I want it to be unique, so I am thinking of the "Lemon Drop"; not seen one like that !

These tops and finishes are beyond amazing!! The G&L team outdid themselves again. Gets me thinking about the specs for my next G&L.
