What is the term used for an acoustic with a 2 piece top where one side is visibly different than the other?? Usually, lighter or darker. It's been discussed here before but like I said in the heading of the post...................
Now you're speaking my language Guilded. 40 years of dealing with "runout" regarding machine parts at an enormous machine shop. Sometimes parts didn't work, like shafts, due to runout. It would knock out pump seals.And why not runout, like you runout and bought another guitar, or this.
"Runout" it is, though I'm not convinced it's a bad thing.

Ugh, let's hope not!I think in Oxnard, runout would be considered GSR
wow, that difference in top shades is really remarkable, Sandy. I am sure you love your Orf, but did Ren not consider that as a factory 2nd? Is Runout like Bearclaw?My Orpheum OM could be the poster child for runout.
Ralf insists that this top is bookmatched, but I still don't see it. The guitar sounds so good (best OM I've ever played, even if it is closer to a 0000 size), that i just close my eyes and listen when I play it.
When I initially bought it, I thought it never should have left the factory like that. An Adirondack top like this would probably be acceptable on a $1K Eastman, but not on a super high end custom shop guitar, and I still feel that way. Of course at the time, the New Hartford plant was in a state of total upheaval, so that might have had something to do with it.wow, that difference in top shades is really remarkable, Sandy.

I'll pay a premium for bearclaw.wow, that difference in top shades is really remarkable, Sandy. I am sure you love your Orf, but did Ren not consider that as a factory 2nd? Is Runout like Bearclaw?
so runout is not considered as worthy as bear claw, good to know Richard.I'll pay a premium for bearclaw.
Still have them both, but the DV72 has a much taller saddle now! Wonderful as it is, I'm still having a hard time bonding with it, though.so runout is not considered as worthy as bear claw, good to know Richard.
anyway, I like the look Sandy, and since it does not impact the tone, and you love it, bought it twice so to speak, well that alone speaks for itself. So you have (had) a Guild with the shortest saddle known to man and now the most runout Guild known to man. you're kind of like on an island.
I remember another LTGer said if you didn't bond with it, he would buy it. Regardless, it won't last long on the LTG if you do decide to part with it.Still have them both, but the DV72 has a much taller saddle now! Wonderful as it is, I'm still having a hard time bonding with it, though.
