Title: ‘81 Distillate Guitar on the Verb
Post by: lbpesq on October 30, 2022, 11:32:07 AM

Here’s a nice old Distillate on Reverb.   Pretty top, I’m guessing Spalted Maple?   Looks like very good condition with age appropriate finish checking.

Bill, tgo

Wow!  Guitar porn.  She wears her age very well!

Lovely.  I don't think it's spalted maple, though.  Looks more like zebrawood cut about halfway betwixt flat- and quarter-sawn, with old, yellowed finish.
