- The Maple top transfers a bright tone to the body which complements the warm tones of a mahogany body. Maple has a uniform grain, it’s strong and stable, and it has less reaction from environmental changes than other hardwoods.
- The Rosewood fretboard is naturally oily, and works well for any surface that sees frequent human contact. The sound is richer in fundamental than Maple because the stray overtones are absorbed into the oily pores.
