I voted "be unwilling to own a guitar made with this wood?"
not because of the ebony plugs, my personal thoughts are I just don't find it's figure pretty, garish is a word that comes to mind.
It'll be interesting to see just how it's viewed, down the line, I have my suspicions.
I would be interested to run a stat on just how many times pictures of this timber have appeared on these pages as it may have gatecrashed my dreams on more than one occasion .
guess I'm just not a devotee of WOW.
Out of interest, has anyone had a guitar made of this with 'solid' sides, I ask because I've bent highly flamed Maple (on a bending iron) and there were a few heart stopping moments - I wouldn't relish the thought with this timber.
