You can get some pretty darn white maple that sure aint yellow.
Forget it. Any wood that is White just after you build will not be white 2 or 3 years hence. It will oxidize, turn a tan colour and there's zero you can do to stop it. You can slow the process down but that's about all you can do. Even the Whitest Holly starts to take on a Greyish White after a few years.
The only real alternative is to use a wood bleach method.
Yeah my englemann top was white , so was the maple back and sides. But after 4 years its yellow.
"Whitest Tonewood" was my nickname back in high school.
