Members onelife Posted November 13, 2015 Members Share Posted November 13, 2015 I liked the mismatched guitar. I'm weird like that. I'd of kept it but: different strokes for different folks! As a player, I don't really care what a guitar looks like. My Les Paul has had the finish removed exposing a three piece maple top. The seams are obvious and the grain does not match however it is the best sounding and most responsive guitar I have ever owned. Should I send it back because Gibsons are really expensive?

Members Grant Harding Posted November 13, 2015 Members Share Posted November 13, 2015 In terms of aesthetic preference I've found people generally fall somewhere between "don't give a crap" and "I'd rather die than be in the same room with that". I'm definitely somewhere on that scale. Function is definitely more important than form for me, but over a thousand USD must deliver both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members naboutboul Posted November 13, 2015 Author Members Share Posted November 13, 2015 Eh, a thousand bucks isn't that much because it's a mass produced guitar. If it were two thousand I'd return it. Why would you want two in the same color? That doesn't make sense to me. Don't know. I figured I'll end up selling my 2012 eventually. This is my favorite color strat and I know I can't sell one the wife gave me so I figured this way I'll always have it 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a solid color top then I would think it would be hard to complain about matched pieces. Sort of apples and oranges wrt this thread...

Members onelife Posted November 14, 2015 Members Share Posted November 14, 2015 You're right, it's not a fair comparison. The point I wanted to make is that I would not pass on a great sounding instrument because the pieces of the body didn't match visually. I think it was Mark Knopfler who referred to some instruments as "furniture guitars." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
