So if this is truly outstanding the way it's described here, why do people spend thousands on back and sides rather than investing $$$ - $$$$ in an LS top? (Assuming that the top makes 80% of the tone?)

And do I really understand correctly, it is just ONE log?

Anyone have a picture of an LS top?

Brock, is the picture on your website with "the tree" b&s an LS top?

Karl
Yes, that is an LS top on that guitar.

The LS is just one log.

Part of the cost of the LS upgrade is the fact that it is incredible tonewood, and part of the cost is the scarcity. It is impossible to get more sets, as builders we simply can't replace anything we use from our stash.
