Curly something or other:)

That is certainly wild. Perhaps a walnut? David L where are you?????? Name the wood!!!!!!! :)

looks like Rimu but we would need better pictures. I have some of this. It is a conifer tree from Australia.
while called a softwood it is very hard and many Aussies build with it. Hope we find out what it is , the chevron cut makes it a standout

The guitar is made in Japan around 1970
