"That is an awesome piece of quilted maple on that beautiful Kestrel. "
Which begs two questions for me - is that a layer of veneer on a carbon fiber top, or is it carved solid wood? Is carved solid wood able to compete with carved spruce, redwood, etc, for a truly excellent acoustic guitar?
I've got a few guitars with exceptionally visually interesting back and side wood, but I only ever look at the front... So I wonder why?
