Does anyone know if the figuring on the tops on the Bulb model will be better than those on the standard model?

I think by all the pictures we have seen the answer is yes.
^ I doubt Misha has that much of a say in wood supply being used by Jackson for his specific line. I could be wrong, but I highly doubt it.
......... Jackson were very understanding when I stressed that the tops need to be of a certain quality for the guitar, and they are working to ensure that each one will be unique and beautiful.
To answer the tops question:
The quality of tops will be the same across the 'bulb' and non 'bulb' quilt models, in fact I used the example of what was happening with the EBMM tops as what I didn't want to happen.
The thing to note is that I wanted the Laguna Blue finish to have less of that 'deep stain' look so that it would move more in the light (especially with it being a 5/8" top you get a lot of 3D motion)
Conversely the Amber Tiger Eye finish has the deep stain effect, meaning it's less 3D when you move it, but looks very nice from all angles. With the blue finish it really just depends on how the light catches it.
I happen to enjoy both kinds of tops and you kinda have to choose, so I figured one of each would be ideal. With that said, in person, both tops will look absolutely fantastic, but the average picture of the Tiger Eye top will look better as the light will not have to hit it in a specific way for it to "pop".
Anyways, hope that clears all that up, Jackson were very understanding when I stressed that the tops need to be of a certain quality for the guitar, and they are working to ensure that each one will be unique and beautiful.

Hey Misha!
Earlier in the thread the Laguna Blue was represented in two shades. Will the Laguna Blue's differ between the Juggernaut model and the Bulb model?
Thanks
Jesus those are some seriously guitar-nerdy requirements for a signature guitar in retrospect haha, but it's so cool to see a major guitar company taking note of your high standards and preferences. Every single one of those guitars are beautiful, glad to hear they knocked it outta the park for you with these models.
I'm torn between laguna burst or the silver burst sparkle in a 7. Any official demo videos of this guitar coming out?
