Misha, what I'm most puzzled with revolves around the finishes Jackson has displayed on their site. From what I can see, specifically on those laguna burst models, they show a quilted version and a flamed maple version. To me, that middle second tone of the finish shows/pops more on that quilted maple from the pictures shown. The flamed one looks kinda dead in that regard. Great looking but personally I like the quilt version.
Now I know you mentioned the light being a culprit but can you assure us that, and this only applies if you're actually selling quilted & maple versions of the sig, the finish will look the same across all versions? I know they all can't look the same but I just hope if their is a flame maple version, the burst gradient won't look flat on every guitar. Hope you get what I mean.
The tops are all quilts, due to these being actual pieces of wood and not veneers, the types of quilt and the nature of it will vary based off of the cut. With a veneer it's easy to just slice one top into a ton of veneers and get a similar look. With that said the finish itself will look consistent and they have been looking consistent through prototyping, we spent a lot of time not only getting the finish right, but making sure that each finish would be repeatable. That Laguna Burst takes quite a bit of work on Jackson's end to look the way I want haha!
