If 871 was 9.8, I’d splash cash.

So I have been sent the below as options but not sure which one to go for - I will try in advance but need to reserve one to try.

Any firm favourites based on looks/weight alone?

92170 by far.

Eight pounds is a perfect weight for a guitar. It is medium weight for a guitar, so as a girl I can say that it is perfect if you are a musician like me. I can play for hours on the guitar, so I would get tired of keeping it on my knees with a heavier guitar. When I found out how important the guitar's weight was, I used my weight scale from vont.com to determine the weight of the guitar I was using. I found out that it was a little too heavy for a guitar, so I recently bought another one, and I can feel the difference.

Did a trigger ever get pulled?

92170 is the best top, but at 8 lbs probably too bright, so reverse chevron 92216 would be the fallback

92170 that’s my fav. Weight isn’t important to me yet so happens to be light

As plain a top as you can get (R8ish). Under 10 LBs
