So... have we switched from 'guitar heroes' to 'any famous people at all?'

Because if someone's referred to as a 'guitar hero,' they must be good. Period. Not that 'guitar hero' isn't a stupid phrase that never should've been popularized, or anything, but still. Saying you can solo better than Neil Young is like saying you can beat Alton Brown at football. Yeah, the man's a professional, but that's not his thing at all.

I like subtly figured maple over any other. Plain is nice, but I prefer it lightly figured. Once it gets too noticeable, there goes any chance of the guitar looking good at all. That keeps me off of a lot of PRS's and the like.

One exception I can think of is burl maple - moltomario has a burl maple Parker, I think, that looked absolutely incredible.
