WOW!
 
and that bit on the upper body where the chamfer reveals the body wood just looks wrong. To me, the top isn't thick enough, it should go to the edge.

to each customer their own ... some absolutely love this kind of laminate reveal, while others opt the extra expense to have a drop top bent over the arm contour

And the "join" on the bottom just looks gash as well.


I anticipate a little bit of embarrasment on your part when you learn what that gashy 'join' really is. :D

all the best,

Meh....one of two things that bring out my inner Scrooge. The other being IM-speak devoid of punctuation.

I on the other hand do not like when tops cover the midbody reveal
and think they look boring.

wow imagine that!

Except that I think most of the time all of the excess layers really, really badly detract from the topwood, which is why I think the "midbody reveal" as you called it is often WAY excessively thick or contrasting. It draws the eye away from the nice wood.
