Do ALs, Axes, and ASS have more birdseye?

[King Hazel!]

My EVH is diseased with it!!

Though I must be lucky (or unlucky depending on your point of view) that all my balls have some figuring.

My 91-95 Silos had tons of measles! All the guitars that came after got their shots

This is kind of a weird compliment! You sound like Lucious!
(please stay away from my daughter!)

Hahahahahaha! Thanks for the compliment! No worries about your daughter! I have one of those myself! But I STILL wanna see more measles on my stick! The Silo deserves the same love and respect as the other models that "always" seem to wind up with loads of figuring and measles!

Heres my Axis neck. It has its fair share of flame but no birdseye to be seen. (Looks amazing on stage).

Man that neck looks awesome.

I also love the flame on that neck---even more than the birdseye. How does the fretboard on it look?

thanks for the compliments guys. yeah the fingerboard looks just as good but its dirty so its hard to tell. the neck on it definately makes up for the ok to average quilt top. It was definately a nice surprise!

One thing I've noticed is that many EBMM necks show a birdseye on one side of the back of the neck, and flame on the other side. I didn't understand why this was, but I think I understand now - I think the necks are quarter-sawn, and since the back of the neck is round, on one side this makes the cut roughly perpendicular to the figure (producing the birdseye) and on the other side roughly parallel to the figure (producing the flame).

Or at least that's my theory.

This thread is an excuse to repost this pic just 'cause I like it

The gremlin, however, has minimal figuring, but with all that sparkle no one notices
Neither does the Sil Spec, and that was an LE

Interesting. It´s the same on my (my ball´s) neck
