Re the recent discussion of striped sitka tops, heres another one, this one looks Daytona worthy :lol:

Rather prominent striping, a bit too much for me. Maybe its just the lighting, but man, thats pretty severe for an 05 level guitar IMO. Prolly sounds great though!

My J-05e that I posted in the pictures section has some real nice striping/silking going on at the same time. I wasn't happy with the pictures of the top. It doesn't look attractive in the pictures, but in person it's very pleasing to look at.

I just saw a special on Jimmy Buffet, and his electric guitar was fashioned after a surfboard, with prominent stringers, or racing stripes...couldn't tell which....but it sure looked cool.
