Where Can I Buy Master Grade 5A Quilted Maple Tops?

[namuxtree]

I have a custom bass on order and I want a quilted maple top, but the luthier I'm working with doesn't quite have what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a really special highly and deeply figured QM (5A) with consistent figuring throughout and is light in color (pale, white-ish) that is dry and ready to be used right away as a top wood. I've checked TONS of sites and eBay, but I haven't found what I'm looking for quite yet. (I'm picky, I know) My question is, do you know of a wood seller that has such a piece? I've included a picture to give an idea of what I'm after. Please help!

Take a look at Goby Walnut. They carry some nice figured maple in addition to walnut.

You could try these guys. I use them for my Master grade flamed maple archtop guitar backs and sides and the quality of figure is impressive. Some of the premium billets might be what you're looking for.
