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.
