I like fungus on pizza, not on my guitars...

 

[mikesr1963]

That's a sexy guitar.

 

[Denverdave]

Interesting idea to put a splat graphic on a spruce top. Not sure if I like it or not....

@Dogsinotpalc would like a word with you. So would @dodgechargerfan.

I never really liked that particular model for some reason. As I recall the Gypsy series was one of the lower-priced series. Probably nice for the price.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

I'm not a fan of spalt, but that Luna isn't terrible.

That's a graphic, like photo flame?

If it was real I'd like it a lot.

 

[Flamencology]

Not attractive.

[Pine Apple Slim]

I do not find it attractive.

There's a time and place for spalt. This isn't one of them, though.....

I assume it would have to be laminate of some sort. I don't think spalted wood can handle the stress of a acoustic top. You can probably crack it with your mind.

 

[Guitar Heel]

I'm in the pro-spalt camp.

TEAM SPALT.

 

[Chad]

I have seen a few splat top guitars I have liked, this is not one of them.

 

[CBHScott]

Like it - it doesn't look as severely spalty as other spalts I have seen.

 

[PunkKitty]

I like it.

 

[Flamencology]

I might like the wood if the guitar didn't otherwise look so cheap.

Well, it sells for $199 on their website, so...

I meant design-wise, kinda tacky.

But I hear you.
