That's what puts me off, is the 3D look. Too flashy and already starting to become dated. The only ones I thought were ok looking were the ones that hid the carbon fiber. CF was really cool a few years ago when people were using it on cars, phone cases, etc. But it's played now and I think they'd do well to not emphasize it. Everyone has their own tastes though and I'm not putting down anyone who likes the CF look, I liked it at one time. I think wood grain more represents the nature of acoustic music, visually. Something feels disingenuous about the guitar above. Again, that's just me.
