I dunno, you have to admire the work that's gone into making something that butt-ugly.

I know... and someone went to a Fitzcarraldo level of trouble to build this in Siberia.Hot_Grits wrote:I dunno, you have to admire the work that's gone into making something that butt-ugly.
Having said that, I have a soft spot for the Zoot suit Gibson, not that I'm going to save up for one or anything.

On another forum, PRS wood ratings was described as a couple of guys who wiped alcohol rags across incoming lumber and graded it according to what they saw (AKA subjective as hell.)
Personally I'd post other things as gear porn.

Well, how else do you do it?! Scoffing at that is just a bit dumb, honestly.

yeah I have to agree, how else could you do it? Actually theres probably a decent way of doing it using computers and visual recognition technology, but give me a couple of guys whose job it is to check these things any day. I wouldn't think it was that subjective either, if they check every piece of wood I would (no pun) imagine they are exceptional at what they do. Like tea and wine tasters etc

The wood is utterly incredible. Some of the combinations, thinking of the Cartland model here, are visual indigestion but it doesn't take away from the artistry.
I want to repost this one. It's sublime!
