Maple tops like swirls are all about personal preference though.

I get bored with regular, uniform flame even some of the PRS private stocks I've thought were quite poor even though I recognise the quality of the wood is exceptional, I didn't like it. I can't stand "popcorn" quilt either. Me, I love wild figured tops or big tubular quilt. I'd like to see more depth to it, true, but I rather like this top.

The top horn and forearm cut have just the sort of figuring I like. Big interesting patterns but I still think it needs to be a bit less regular

Re: 5K new Ibanez J custom

The vine innlay on the body kills that nice guitar...if the vine was not there it would be perfect!

I really like that the Ibanez logo on the headstock is larger than normal...that is something they should consider doing on all their high end guitars...looks better...IMO.

The inlay on the body is the only thing that makes it different from any other "run of the mill" j-custom.

Re: 5K new Ibanez J custom

Nice guitar...

But for that price I'd rather buy a PRS modern eagle... with a top (not a veener) a million times better...

Sorry man, but these are very different Instruments. You can't compare apples with oranges.
And a million times better... is BS.
