Would AAA flame/quilt tops on RICS be desirable?

Here's my personal favorite.
From ebay:

Just the right amount of figuring & a nice, blended FG finish.
The first time I'd seen a CW model.

Yeah, that one was gorgeous. The lack of a bright flash works in its favor also.

I can't believe Jared hasn't chimed in here yet!

Goregeous, Jeff. I know Mark has the 4004, you got rid of the 660 as well right?

Yes, that went to someone dying to use it more than I was.

Even some standard models come with "fancy" wood grain:

A little more subtle, but beautiful.
I'm still not a fan of the vintage black knobs. The oven knobs are nice.
And toasters are just a more elegant look on any guitar.
I'm not knocking higains in any way, I just think toasters look more sophisticated (as do many others here, obviously).

Is that a 12-saddle, Kevin?

Jason, Yes. This is a used guitar I bought from a local dealer and it has a 12 saddle bridge, that was installed by a previous owner.
