Dean I envy you just a little bit. I should have gone with transparent black ultra, not with a black standard. The woods, the woods. I've found demo of Ultra and it sings big time. Would love one... Quilted maple does a great trick to the sound IMHO.
Doesn't matter, will get custom ordered Paul with 5A quilted maple... All proper wood. Proper made. Just like top end Custom Shop Gibson. But have to get cash for it, which will take a while :-D
Until then I envy you a little healthy bit :)
