  • Black Quilted Maple

    Does any have pictures, or have any info on a black quilt top? I thought it would look pretty cool...

    Cheers,
    Nick

    I had a Peavey Destiny Custom with transparent black over quilt. Looked stellar in good light. I might still have a pic somewhere around here.

        Ask and you shall recieve...



        Though the jury is still out on whether this is really Trans black or if it may be an oddball in Mocha.....

          I think they do different shades of trans black, and obviously any colouring in the wood has an impact.

          I have a CS XTRR on order which I've spec'd to be the same colour as Danny Spitz's guitars (a light trans black), but instead of specing the colour, the Spitz guitar is referenced on the w/o.

                  I sold a Gibson LPC in trans black quilt to FirebirdV(Chris) and he sold it to someone else here. It had a nice top. Maybe the present owner will post a pic of it.

                      The Trans Black we do begins with a dye to stain the top. As you all know, each piece of wood is different, so each piece takes the stain different. This results in different shades of Trans Black on each guitar.
