Flame or quilt

[ohdamnitsdevin]

Which do you prefer? Flame for me. I think it just looks cleaner.

Flame, looks neater. Quilt gets a little over the top for me. Each to their own.

Depends on the finish. Blackburst and Pacific Blue Burst look absolutely unbelievable on quilt. Other than that I am a tiger stripe man. Love flame.

i don't mind quilt on darker colors, but for the most part MUCH prefer flame.

flame = i play guitar
quilt = hey, look at my guitar

 

[roburado]

I like quilt, because it looks like waves in water to me. I just find that gorgeous. Flame just looks like stripes to me. But really, it's how the guitar sounds and feels that are most important.

depends on the guitar and finish

First choice would always be quilt, but wouldn't turn down a guitar if it had a nice flame.

Gotta go with quilt as well...

Looks amazing

Looks like we've got the same tastes.

That pacific blue in quilt is phenomenal... over the top? Perhaps, but I could stare at that all day.

Flaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

Flame: fire, heat, passion. Have you seen my flame thrower?! Wicked cool.

Quilt: blanket, grandmother (granny's are great....no offense). Have you seen my quilt thrower? uuuhhh? Weak.

I'm just kidding, quilt looks great sometimes. I think I just see more inconsistency in quilts, which makes them unique, but I'd rather see a tight flame on my geet.

I do have to say that I love the "Guinness" effect that you get with some quilts.

I do feel cozy when I plug in a quilted guitar.
As for quilt thrower? naw..... A flaming death is rather violent. Violence is great every now and again, but I prefer a silent death... the kind people can't really see..... you could drown in some of those liquid-y quilts.


mmmm... morbid......

A nice tight flame is about as good as it gets, though spalted is my favorite.

 

[Stratty316]

quilt all the way... though my #1 is a flame top.

 

[Norrin Radd]

Um, how about - both? Seriously - there are soooo many gorgeous examples of both on this very forum - and in every color too. I like 'em all!

For example, I was at my local GC yesterday (buying Cobalt Slinkies - go get some. NOW!) and happened upon this beauty. Not my cup of tea, but it was pretty enough for me to take a photo!

 

[Diver Down]

Have to go with quilt as well. Now a flaming quilt is absolutely my favorite.

 

[mesaboogieman]

Some flame is ok but I definitely prefer quilt top!

 

[threeminutesboy]

I love both, I had quilt and flame but own only flame at the moment

 

[ohdamnitsdevin]

you guys are all hilarious!
