Trick is not to go too dark with figured maple if you want to see more grain. Been moving away from more traditional colours to more modern takes on quilt/flame tops.

Well- a cherry/vintage sunburst for me or something quite aquatic looking- the old ESPs in the 90s with see-thru-aqua were gorgeous! Green is also a winner..
The brightest = the better in my book, when it comes to the figured finish. I will appreciate a black finish if it is done well of course, despite not ranking it high.
