It really depends on the color. I love both as long as it suits the guitar. Pretty vague,I know but that's how I feel about it. For instance I prefer quilt on the purple sunset Y2D like I have, but I like the flame on blackburst. Ahhhh, whatever! They're both cool.
Quilt! Quilt! And More Quilt! How can you deny this:
I will take a good quilt over a flame any day of the week! In fact, I have sold flame tops to finance quilt tops. For example, I had a natural flame top Axis (non-Tribute) and I sold it when I finally found my natural quilt top Axis (non-Tribute). I dream in quilt!
