Does anybody think this will look good?
I'm going to put in a insurance claim for my stolen guitar but I dont want to build the same one again. Maybe a few years down the road when I get over it I'll build another dragonburst to replace it with, but for now if I get a new guitar I dont want it to remind me of the old one.
The thing is I don't know how sly I can be with the insurance company. We've already argued with them that replacement costs would include labour to put it together, and they agreed with us. I"m just trying to figure out if I can slide past them with a different kind of lamtop than what I originally had so long as the body is the same wood type. I know I'd love to have a Quilt maple top with that radical cherry burst finish. But I'm a little worried about what It might look like on a non maple top. like black korina. And also a question for guys at warmoth. Are ALL quilt tops now DL? Not that i mind i think its a great idea for saving the rare wood. but if i get a dl lamtop i have to get it with binding.. and I dont want binding.. so where do i go from there?
anyway... would this finish look good on this body?
I'm thinking it wouldn't really do it justice because you wouldn't have the black 3D stuff in the middle... unless maybe you coudl really make the grain pop out at you..
