    Hey Doc, the photo in the first post is the quilted maple for the drop top but mahogany will be used for the guts of the body - which is not visible in the photo must be underneath the QM

    DB will definitely agree with you that wood (timber in his case) is a great material to work with !

    Cheers Doc for the links I'll watch some time

    Doh.....my bad.....the quilted maple looks nice too, I haven't seen an LP with a quilted maple cap before so it should look great, all the Gibson LPs I've seen had either Flamed-Maple tops or the maple was more plain looking, my LP Studio has a Maple Top that has a bit of figuring on it.
