BFR Luke with sparkle back (GC) w/ pics Take A Look!!!

[francric]

I think you have a fine looking guitar there................but ultimately it's your preference. I am extremely happy with the way mine looks and plays and if I had the money, I would buy another GC exclusive Luke but in quilt for the matching pair!

I know Lefty, believe me I know. You gotta just love this guy and the whole group of guys at EB!

I think thats a fabolous flame top, I have seen many highend Boutique flame tops and that looks as good as any of them.

 

[martyhk0]

Thanks for your feedback Smallequestrian. I have very little experience with figured maple tops, and I'm sure it shows.

In fact the only other one I have owned is on my Axis.

IN five years someone will post this and Marty will be in the corner stuck in a fetal posititon sucking his thumb with the worst case of sellers remorse on record.

I was so trying not to chime in but, I will, that is a fantastic guitar with a fantastic top, I would love to have that in my collection, if I was a man of means I would have one

 

[dannymusic]

Thats the one I played in MSP. saw and played it for an hour. That guitar was for REAL in my book. And as is BP says. I am/was reluctant to buy one as a GC transfer guitar, because it's still an unknown.
I saw that guitar in person and I was monster impressed; especially with the top.

I'm sure those "spots" that you mentioned are my petrified drool on the top.

 

[Dargin]

Wowza, I can't believe you don't like the top! It's not possible to book-match a top better than that!

That's a nightmare! I never want to be doing that!!!

That must be the Home Depot version. I'm glad my Dargie is not that colour!

 

[martyhk0]

what can I say Scott? Some days I get so confused. May be Alzheimers.
Just note that I never professed to "know" what I was talking about. Thats why i wanted everyone's opinions.

hey, I'm just going by what the can says.

 

[wired]

Thats nice wired. Here's my axis quilt.

Thanks! You've got a killer quilt top yourself. I love the natural maple tops.

 

[Jimmyb]

Marty, it really has to be your choice ultimately.

If it was me, I'd keep it, it's 1 of 10....

Marty
Please dont take this wrong but that top is as good as it gets. This is why I hate the whole graded top thing. It is subjective. But I paid a fortune for that top and I wouldnt kick it out of the sack.

From a builders standpoint it is as near perfect as I have EVER seen. The angle and bookmatiching is fabulous. I dont know that I can make you happy if this one doesnt.

Adamrogo wasnt happy with his either and I thought his was fabulous too. He didnt like his bookmatching and it was as good as you can do....his lined up perfect in the center and it is wood that has been sawed.

I you look at this "other guitar" you'll see the lines really don't match -

EBmm does it right - which is why all my "other guitars" are in the process of being sold!

I wasn't to blown away with the BFR's at concept but now they're appearing, I'm very keen to get my hands on one with a top even half as good as yours, If you wanna sell it PLEASE PM ME!

Update:

First,I want to thank everyone for their input so far. Both those who were supportive and "touchy-feely" and those kicking me in the butt as well.

The more time I get with this guitar, the more I am getting to like its looks. I guess its like when you meet a girl with a great personality and whos a great gal , she gets more and more beautiful as time goes on. Course the reverse is true also.

I'm thinking "tiger stripes".
