So I would have to guess that this is a normal Sunburst quilt
And this is premium?
Anyone know pricing details?

To be honest...$500 is not a bad price for that type of quilt top. I have seen them run much higher with the same grade. You get what you pay for. My buddy who builds handmade axes thinks EBMM's pricing is more than reasonable. But, if you do not get the "Premium Top" you are still getting a killer guitar. It's just a win win situation in my opinion.

i meant i liked the first one in the two pictures better. which i guess is the standard one. the premium one in those two i dont like so much. but thats me.

I personally think $500 is a lot, but if you want a guarantee of a stunning top, then what the hell, I think it's worth it. If I really wanted a special guitar, I'd consider paying that bit extra

I'd jump on it then if it is what they said it is. Killer base plus some $$$ of the premium top....just make sure you get that in writing!
