    There's lots more-but being perfectly honest, most Groove Tools look very much the same. All are either in natural or wine, and all (other than the GT-BD7) have the exact same wood combos.

    I've seen way different maple padrons on several GT basses, the one I owned had a pretty simple figured maple top,but I've seen some with good looking quilt and flame padrons out there, not to mention some heavily modded ones! Like realthing's GT-8 :p

    btw- here's my ex, had almost forgot I had these pics here

    The only really modded ones I've seen (aside from the addition of a mid control knob) have been therealthing's GT-7 and Jared Morante's old GT-BD7. The maple tops do vary, but not that much-to me it's like "choose between 50 kinds of vanilla!" :D

    This is my old GT-BD7, btw.
