With it being just after christmas and all, there are some pretty good bargins to be had if you shop around, you may also have gained a bit of cash over the winter period. So, does a flame-topped guitar tingle your tastebuds? We have lined up five of what we believe are some of the most incredible flame top guitars in existence.
Fender Select Telecaster
Approx £1650 - $3000
A luxury US Tele combining an alder body with a 3mm flame maple top with a beautiful burst nitrocellulose finish.
'Combining those classic Tele tones with an incredible maple top makes this guitar an all round winner.'
(Fender also produce a Select Strat)
Carvin FG1 Frank Gambale
Approx £1950 - US Price N/A
A 335-alike guitar with a beautiful slip matched 4A maple top.
'Providing tones somewhere between a 335 and a Les Paul with a very Gibson-esque look and incredible humbuckers, if you love that vintage Gibson look this one may be worth a try'
Gibson Les Paul Standard (2012)
Approx £2000 - $3700
The list wouldn't be complete without a Les Paul, famous for their beautiful flame tops this 2012 Standard model just adds to our love for them.
'Classic rock tones with that classic rock look in one solid package, what more could you we want? Not much we think'
PRS P22
Approx £3500 - $5900
Being a classic boutique American guitar manufacture you'd expect Paul Reed Smith to produce only the best guitars, and this P22 is no exception carrying one of their best flame tops to date.
'There is something about owning a beautiful American made guitar that isn't created by anything else, we think this guitar will satisfy that craving'
Godin XTSA
Approx £1200 - $1250
A classic looking flame top on a modern body shape, a great guitar from Canadian manufacture Godin.
'It's almost American and is made by incredible luthiers, at a cheaper price than the other guitars on this list, that alone should satisfy you'
