Phatty's 20th Anniversary Silhouette arrived this morning, and I promised him a torture thread (which he reminded me about this evening). It's a Maple fretboard, natural headstock, and standard top. The top is _______ed maple and while it is not insanely figured, I actually think it's one of the coolest we've had come through just because of how much it shifts at different angles.
No pics yet because what kind of a torture thread would it be if the money shot came right away?
So phatty, while you are reading this, I'm playing your guitar through my Soldano @ 11 and ticking off the neighbors with my rendition of Mary Had a Little Lamb. You know the sizzle you get just before your brains explode after you put your skull into a microwave? Well this guitar has more sizzle than that!
Maybe I'll post pics later on if you beg me.

Ok, I guess that's enough begging. The top on this shifts something fierce, I don't know to classify it as quilted or flamed - it's one of the classiest tops I've seen, without being outrageous. If it had rosewood, I'd keep it
