Maple

Maple is a dense, hard tonewood commonly used in guitar and bass construction for necks, fingerboards, and sometimes bodies or tops. It is known for its strength, stability, and smooth playing feel, making it a popular choice for instruments that need durability and consistent performance.

Tonally, maple contributes a bright, clear sound with strong attack and good note definition. It emphasises high-end clarity and tight low end, which helps notes cut through a mix, and is often paired with warmer woods to create a balanced overall tone.
