Is the maple top a drop top Icey? It looks from that angle as if it is not.

No I mean does the maple top follow the contour of the body? It actually looks like the forearm cut goes through the maple and shows the core wood underneath.

Nah Icey mate, a drop top means the cap of wood on the top is following the shape of the contour. Check the warmoth site for a picture of what I mean.

after i list the idea , i stopped and started think about

why no ..... after it i talked whit luthier
checked again the guitar , its have beatiful woods , will apear more in clean
2-4 days thinking about and did decision , clean
i liked the clean idea
its more neutral :)

Green is cooler but you know , one day its will be boring
so clean finish its dont happen , its the wood self showing the veins and flames :)
