LP Streaky Top - Opinions?

[cardinal]

FWIW I don't like that it's not symmetric (it's only on the treble side). But I also much prefer solid colors anyway.

I think it is fine, especially at a good price.

But why ask us? If you don't like it, don't buy it.

I love the streaks in mine, I like when they have some character I think that one looks great!

That's A beauty!!!

As for the OP, consider using a mallet and chisel to gouge it out.
I think its called relic-ing. Seems to be popular these days.

Curious:

Why do the streaks always seem to be transverse - 90º to the wood-grain direction?

Is it maybe a direction-of-stroke-with-paintbrush-related thing? That's all I can think of.
