  In both cases, the Flame Maple is much hotter in person. When you sand it, the depth of the figure fades, but once the paint hits it, watch out!

Brace yourself. I mean, you've already seen this as the slab of lumber, but that doesn't really prepare you for the outrageous bookmatch:

This is a great picture.  I love being able to determine the wood grain that's actually making it into the guitar.  I'm also excited about the color the wood has turned since it was sliced open.  Beautiful!

I have to run to the store, and get a gallon of milk -- because that guitar looks delicious enough to dip and eat.
