Hmmm I know this will sound weird, but can u post your RG2820 pics here - just of the body. Reason I ask, is the figure of the wood on mine seems "wormy" and wanna know if this is the same on everyones.
Does yours have that wood effect.... hmmm i mean, looks like a salt stain, if u know what i mean?
ie same as in my pics...
I mean the finish isnt at all like my RG3120 (flamed maple) or my Brian Moore i2000 i1 (quilted maple) - so i dunno if it's normal or a bad top :/
On the RG-5 J custom thta i played, the maple top isn't flamed at all.It's jsut blotchy.Which is actually the nature of Maple. ON hardwood floors, if oyu stain it, it looks terribly ununiform.
So on your guitar, I would say the top looks about what it should look like.You do have some lame in it though
Yup, don't let the 'stains' bother you, that's perfectly normal. I think most of the pics on the Net don't really show the stains because of the lighting. Take a look at mine :
It actually has the stains all over it, but its not very noticeable with good lighting.
