Cool/Weird Wood Grain

[jingle_jangle]

Paul, next time you're down this way, let me know and I'll have you take a look at it.

Didn't you show it to me at SoCal?

A favorite I had the honor of owning for a brief period was this one. Too bad I wasn't bright enough to catch on to being able to play it worth a hoot.

And when you got just the right light on the grain.............

Also got a strange Grain mark through the A tuner! This also runs through to the wood at the end of the neck above the r in rickenbacker.

doesnt bother me in the slightest the 330 sounds great! its the most acoustic sounding ric ive had.

Cool wood grain? It doesn't get a whole lot better than my 381v69:

The flowers are especially for you, Scotty!

Lovin it Mel!

my 4001 has got just these two "beauty marks" at the fifth fret. Other than that she's just garden-variety beautiful Walnut. Do thumbprints in the finish on back of the headstock count?

Kira its the first ric with sun spots mines a skid mark!

Flamed bubinga?!

Had to take a closer picture of the 381 today, as the first one didn't really capture the full effect--notice how the grain of the wood looks like a shadow of the strings vibrating!

And since I had the camera out anyway, here's the back of my Comstock--lovely flamed maple, also visible on the sides of the guitar.
