Which top should I pick?

[Philly Q]

I like character tops  :)

Yeah, likewise, I prefer the ones which have patterns going all over the place rather than "perfect" flames or quilt.

As for quilt generally, it can look far too blingy but on the whole it's more interesting than flame, IMO.  I like it when it resembles waves or sand dunes, if it's the right colour it looks brilliant.

It shouldn't matter because since it's a Les Paul you'll obviously be painting it black or gold, right? :lol:

It can, and I have a great looking top on one of my guitars, but I don't really like it if I'm truly honest.  I wish it was flame  :oops:

Ya know, after pretty much staring at them all day, I think I've settled on #1. 6 has a little bit too much going on, and I feel like 3 doesn't have quite enough. I like 1 cuz it has a great defined flame, and also has alot of cool grain underneath, with a few mineral spots. I like it!

The blue one?  I like it a lot.  As I've said before, the green one looks like jungle foliage and the blue one looks like rippling water.  I think PRS chose the colours really well.  :D

I'll take it off your hands.... if it's less than a grand.  :P

I think you chose well. Had I got here sooner, I'd have suggested #1 too.

Thanks! It really was a tough choice, but I felt like it had the most to offer all in all.

1 or 5 for me, but I like character tops  :)

agree! -> top 5

Agree too. Especially number 5 is great.

[TheyCallMeVolume]

Yeah, I mean, all of them were absolutely great, it was so hard to pick. 5 was definitely a great one, it started sneaking up my list, but 1 held it off in the end.

IMO Number 2 has the most character. 1 is nice, too, actually in 1 I can also kind of see already a guitar shape embedded in the figuring. But I'd stick with #2

I certainly agree withh no.1
Excellent choice.

Thanks! I think so too, this top is closest to what I imagined in my head.

I think that was one of the reasons I picked 1, because I felt safe knowing I can sort of see the shape in there, with the others, you never know. 2 was marvelous though. I can definitely see that kind of top on a lemon drop, which, coincidentally, is the next LP I want.... hmm...
