What's the most beautiful wood and color?

[vejichan]

What do you think is the most beautiful wood and color for a 6 string electric guitar?
1) figured flamed koa
2) quilted maple dark purple
3) quilted maple dark forest green

In my opinion it's flamed KoA. In the end it's all a matter of taste so go with what you like the most.

Edit : I just realized it was not between the choices you liste haha Then I would go with tangerine pearl or lime green pearl.

Solid metallic blue.

Flamed koa no doubt about it!

 

[fastmerc]

I have to vote flamed Koa, but I also dig a super deep purple quilt.

 

[Wolfhorsky]

Quilted maple or burl poplar stained in blue-ish water-like color.

As far as natural (finish) woods are concerned, Carvin's Walnut is the sexiest wood on the planet. However, my biggest guilty pleasure would be plain Maple tops...or plain Maple in general.

Otherwise, black dye/transparent black finishes on flamed Maple is my favorite.

im partial to green flamed maple.

 

[Yokai08]

also natural Mahogany, plain looking but i love it

Quilted maple for me.

I tend to prefer the look of tung-oiled naturals.
Plain Maple, Mahogany, Black-Walnut, and especially Swamp Ash.
Plus I'm cheap and like getting my necks left natural without an added fee .

Walnut is a super sexy wood.

1) figured flamed koa

This, so much this. I am GAS'ing SO HARD for a koa topped anything!

1. Figured koa, definitely
2. Black limba
3. Figured (flame/quilt) Maple - dig all shades of blue, transprent white, deep reds, some greens - hell, any color looks good on flamed maple usually, same with quilted maple
4. Spalted Maple
5. Walnut
6. Ebony - pale moon and dark ebony both look awesome

I personally don't like natural mahogany or burls but that's personal preference

^I'd agree with everyone of those in that order BUT I only like spalted maple or walnut when its a very exotic looking piece.

 

[TauSigmaNova]

I didn't mean those to be in a specific order but you can take it anyway you want to. Agreed about spalted maple though - it can range from boring to insane.
