‘81 Distillate Guitar on the Verb
« 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

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.
