That is one hell of a quilt on that!

 

[Great Ape]

Well, you've done it again! Another STUNNER! Another tasty beauty...there's something very cool about those bizarre pick-up covers--did a tiger get ahold of those things? Seriously, what's up with that? Great job as always, Murray!!

 

[JonatanOTG]

Just...  :hello2:

I actually like that fingerboard a lot, looks very nice paired with the body  :icon_thumright:

"My, what a psychotic little body you've got, my dear!"

 

[Gene 0.]

I have never been a tremendous fan of quilt tops.... until I saw this one!  Looks fantastic!

 

[Ace Flibble]

I wish to make sweet, messy love to that. And I don't even like quilt maple.

 

[Xplorervoodoo]

Holy friggin' balls!  The fretboard and the quilt are fighting for supremacy!  Amazing build.

 

[bluestometal]

The quilt's simply stunning, the whole guitar's awesome, I would pay big money to own it  :kewlpics:

 

[anorakDan]

You've done it again! That's a truly stunning instrument.

 

[Ddbltrbl]

Spectacular, as we've come to expect!!
Love the placement of the chrome 3-way, and the especially that neck! That Zircote fretboard is pure class!  ccasion14: arty07:

 

[LushTone]

I just realized how great the symmetry is on the bookmatch of this top!

Looks like a hole in the space time continuum. 

 

[Updown]

Thanks all  :icon_thumright:
When I 1st bought it, I thought it had a touch of Wild Maple to it.
It is one of the weirdest looking Quilt Maples I've seen. Plus it looked like some big eyes.

Here's some close up pic's of the body and neck .... http://www.unofficialwarmoth.com/index.php?topic=20697.0
(Really shows a distorted look to the body)

Don't worry, I too thought the neck might be to busy for the busy body.
But I like how it matches up near the neck pocket.

Front = Busy
Back = Plain

Even plays great  :laughing7: 

 

[Cagey]

Definitely a gorgeous instrument! I didn't think the neck/body match-up was such a great idea, either. But, it worked out well, didn't it?

 

[greywolf]

VERY nice , live the natrual binding as well
