Noticable line splitting maple top

Are there any ESP's with flame maple top where you don't see a line going down the middle? I think I heard someone say that theirs was properly "bookmatched" to where they didn't have that line. Most of the pictures I see of the Horizon NT-ii has this which I think distracts from an otherwise beautiful look.

Im pretty sure you can always tell where the 2 pieces meet (especially when you move it around), unless it's a 1 piece top

Bookmatched just means it's symmetric about the line. You will need a 1 piece top to not have the line, which no standard series ESP has. I think the tops look fine with the line, personally.

So why doesn't my LTD have the line on it? Does it use a veneer or something?

Justinschut

probably, which LTD do you have ?

LTDs have a lot of veneer tops/finishes. I have seen ESPs that have a nicely matched top where the two pieces were not obviously separated.
