We accommodate both types. A figured maple top is included in the base price of a Timtone. It can be a Flame or a Quilt or something else. It just won't be the all out best of the breed, but it will damn fine. Infact, most of the tops you see in this site are base price tops.
Maple is a common top wood.
The nice thing about Maple is it is a light, almost white base color. I can color a guitars body almost anything you can imagine if maple is used for the top. We also use some other top woods. The decision on which top wood to use is based on what you want to see and what you want to hear. It imparts a very warm, open responsive and 'even' sounding guitar.
