Question Okay, what's the deal with the "That top sucks" shirts?

[biggestmuff]

I haven't been to the forum since NGD with my BFR. What's the story behind these shirts? I searched, but couldn't find anything.

I'm sure it's humorous.

I second this... WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN!?!?!?

General synopsis:

Back when the BFRs were introduced and dealers put pictures up on their sites, many of them featured lackluster photography and forums elsewhere had many members complaining that the tops on the guitars sucked and weren't worth near their 2.5K+ asking prices. Thus, the introduction of the "That Top Sucks" statement. You'll see users say it here from time to time; hint: it means the top on whichever guitar is nice/excellent.

HA! I have a shirt to prove "That Tops Sucks!" direct from EBMM....ahhaha...such a cool shirt and conversation starter! Nils put it perfect.

Aw, I never got a shirt, and I have an early BFR and my top sucks too!

I admit indoors with the typical low room lighting the top does tend towards a more solid shade. It does take a good light source to make the top on a BFR pop!

Out of curiosity, where did you buy your BFR? I live in Fredericksburg.
