I love the quartersawn tops that have a nice vertical grain in addition to the flame. This is my Hamer Studio Custom:

I’ve always liked the flame on this ‘60 Reissue! Not too wild, just right…

Here‘s a 355 I really dig, not too wild, just right!

This AFD Custom is interesting!

This Robin is pretty nice!

This Holdsworth Fat Boy has some nice flame!

This ‘63 Historic Burst may be plain but really kicks some serious ass!

Here‘s my ‘63 Cherry Hand Select, just enough flame, killer live!

Here’s a couple killer Roman Jewel Berger’s!

I dig wild as much as the next guy but this ‘58 Reissue is the perfect Plain Top!

This Heatley Traditional has a unique Burl Top!

This ‘59 Reissue is one of my favorites, just right!

This RS GuitarWorks ‘59 Reissue Relic is pretty nice! Use to be a ‘57 Gold Top.

This Corsa Manalishi is killer live!

This Giffin is insane!

This Custom Jet City Wolfgang is pretty nice!

This 70’s Walnut has a unique top!

Really dig the light flame on this unique EVH USA Wolfgang!

****** photo but this PRS Santana has some decent flame!

My Joe Bonamassa Bona-Burst is about as plain as it gets!

Probably “the one”, my 2013 Historic Makeovers Brazilian!

My #1...Patrick James Eggle Special, and yes, it is special!

Beautiful tops, everyone! We need some nice plain tops, too.
