$500 for a PLAIN top 
And could you also please sleep with my wife!

If you really don't like quilt or maple, why not go for a painted top then?
I always assumed the premium top upgraded was for the best figured maple as Jon says. Get a Desert Gold top instead Or Carbon Blue. Far better than those trannsparent colours, eh Keith?
Other very cool looking colours are Black, Sapphire Black, Rolls Burgundy, Candy Red, Medallion Gold...
I certainly wouldn't splash out on th epremium top to make it plain though.

Good one!
Isn't $550 the upgraded top list price (and wouldn't the actual cost be more around $300)?
It'd be a much better option to look at dealer stock and just choose a plainer top that you like.
I really don't know the street price of the upgrade as I am not involved in production/sales etc. but you idea of looking around at store stock would be the way to go if you are really into getting a plain top. As I said before it would be luck of the draw if you ordered a new one from us.

That's the second post where you are making wife jokes...maybe Mrs Jongitarz requires some explaination...hey wait a minute, that's not your real name...jongitarz said:And could you also please sleep with my wife!

Well, I just don't like figured tops. That's just me, I think they're a bit gaudy, and I'm not a flashy guy.
I don't see any difference between paying extra for a quilt versus paying extra for a plain top. I'd just be paying extra for what I want. Don't we all have a few idiosynracies when it comes to gear?
Having said that, $500 would be a bit more than I'd be willing to lay down. I might just end up getting a black one.
Jon, do some of the regular tops that leave the factory end up being plain? I've just never seen a Super Sport without a fair amount of figuring.

We all have our own peculiarities and its healthy that way, or we'd all play Strats, listen to boybands and drive Toyota Corollas
I've definitely seen a plain top Axis SS. There's a very subtle quilt top transparent amber in my local store. The figuring is almost completely plain but it's very pretty in a subtle way. Unfortunately the store is in Edinburgh!
They might be able to ship it...the details are here:

Very nice crowd and very knowledgable but our exchange rate would probably put you off. It would work out about $2500
