Our Curly Maple guitar tops are selected for exceptional rhythm, consistency, and dramatic figure. Known for its distinctive "tiger stripe" or "flame" appearance, curly maple is created by natural ripples in the grain pattern, resulting in a series of shimmering horizontal bands that shift beautifully under changing light.
Each top is carefully chosen for symmetry, chatoyance (that shimmering movement), and structural integrity—making it ideal for high-end electric guitar builds. When paired with translucent dyes, bursts, or natural finishes, the figure becomes even more pronounced, delivering stunning visual impact on stage or in the studio.
No two pieces are ever identical. Every curly maple top carries its own unique pattern, giving your instrument a one-of-a-kind aesthetic.
