Ditto on that. So many "Braz" guitars these days seem to be full of whirls, and swirls, and sapwood...stump wood...rift sawn. I am just way too "symmetrical" to go for the "Braz-on-LSD" look.  Well-quartered, bookmatched would be my choice, and only choice. I know any number of builders here have said the wild-figured stuff *may* be just as stable-but I am just not convinced. If I were to pay that kind of upcharge, I'd want it to look just like these pix.
