What's Your Prettiest Guitar

[67plexi]

I only have one quilt top.

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

I couldn’t choose just 1 !

Ha ha, I know why.

 

[smitty_p]

My prettiest guitar?

That's easy.

 

[WavMixer]

OK, I'll play... Custom built by Sonny Boy on the left. Spalted maple bookmatched top with ebony fretboard.

Subjective question to be sure. To me it's this:



It's my favorite finish for a Les Paul, and its a plaintop. I really dislike flame or quilt tops, so to me personally the grain patterns on plaintops are more beautiful.

 

[Jethro Rocker]

Lots of great great looking wood grain, flame and quilt tops.
I’ve always had a thing for quilt maple tops.

Sub thread here. Might as well. More quilty maple just for you!!

Mockingbird, EVH, E1, and I have a blue quilty LTD I need to photograph.

Beautiful!! My first LP is a plaintop, I really like that look with subtle grain too.

My Godin LG has a subtle flame but also some wood grain to offset it a bit.

That is just a really, really cool looking Les Paul.

Quite nice.

Wow ..that's one shiny bugger!! You should hand that over to Murphy Labs.

Definitely my 2014 Custom that I no longer have.

I traded it for this one because the neck is thicker and the fretboard is ebony, not Richlite. It's VOS so that's cool, however it also has a pickguard and does not glow with quite the same beauty as the previous one.

In acoustics, my custom shop Martin that is actually up in another thread ...

I like all of them and would have made the same choice on the LP.
I think it kind of sucks how Gibson prices the triple A flame maple.
For me a custom on any design would be awesome. I could post a pic of the that got away but I didn't actually own it so I won't.

 

[ibmorjamn]

Gotta be the Schenker V..

Damn , I am of course impressed.

This was the first pic I can find but I've only had it since x-mas.

It might be not pretty to some views but you know I have desire for Dean "V's"
I also have a black one but I don't think mine has that detail in the flame.

What bridge pickup is that with the sustainiac ?
I like the look of it but if it one of those super hot ones ,not
Got it by Google. Schecter E1
bridge Apocalypse VI humbucker.
I like the clear bobbins. So engage the pickup winders. Lol
