For that matter, you don't see much of the top when you are playing. If you are performing with more than one instrument, the audience get a good look at the back of the one on a stand. I look at the back each time I take one out and again before I put it away. If it has chatoyance, then I can lose myself in there, looking.

I not only spend a moment appreciating the B/S and smell, but also imagining the post-2017 "certified" log waiting at the bottom of a blood red storage pond before being floated out to a container ship in the evening. Also I bolster this mindset by having shopped for carbon fiber acoustics and yamaha silent guitar, finding them tonally unsatisfactory.
I am fully witnessing the end times by the time I sit down to play my 2014 CSA rosewood one-off build. I can only live with myself because that particular guitar sat there for 6 years. I feel rather like Hannibal must've felt as he savored the kidneys of his victims. Ultimately empty I suppose, just as empty as having attended berklee only to wind up screaming random words to "Start Me Up" in a beer soaked dive because they don't care anyways. https://e360.yale.edu/features/the-r...t-to-furniture Wasted? No... perhaps. Yes definitely wasted. Last edited by brushknee; 05-17-2021 at 03:28 PM.

I try to avoid showing off the back of my Custom D 35, with it's flamed koa back wedge. I find it raises expectations and leads to disappointment.

Most people can only see the face of my future wife. And her dress.
I can see... her whole beauty when she undresses for me. Is her "back" a reason for me to choose her? No. Do I appreciate it? I have no words for how much I do!

Is the beauty of the backs of guitars wasted?
Not on me. Don .
