Description
This bookmatched 3A Quilted Maple drop top features attractive, rippling quilt figure across the entire guitar outline. The pattern is consistent top to bottom and will display excellent depth under dye, burst, or clear finishes. Surfaced to 0.24 inches, this set is ideal for solid body drop tops, CNC-profiled builds, chambered bodies, or any project where strong quilt figure is desired without a thick carve.
Defects / Notes
-
Knot cluster near the upper bout area. It is stable and visible, so the set is graded as 3A/Defect and priced accordingly.
-
Bark inclusion on the treble-side edge falls outside the guitar outline and will not be part of the finished instrument.
-
No cracks, structural instability, or through-defects.
