Hi Mika.
 Really ? Thank you for the information ! Now that you let me think about, I remenber my first Elan 1988.  It was almost the same that the “new one”, with figured walnut. This has more figured top than the first one, but if I’m not wrong, the maple of my old Elan was flamed Maple . This is seems have a “regular” maple wood . Anyway, i’m waiting for my new Elan like a child waiting for Christmas  night . The old owner has sent it today, two days for delivery..two days more longer than a year. I will put some pics of details.
