Maple

Maple is a type of hardwood commonly used in the construction of guitar necks and fingerboards due to its strength, stability, and attractive appearance. It is known for its light color, fine grain pattern, and smooth texture, making it a popular choice among guitar manufacturers and players alike.

In guitar construction, maple is often used for:

1. Necks: Maple is a popular wood choice for guitar necks due to its stability and durability. It provides a bright and articulate tone with good sustain, making it well-suited for a wide range of playing styles. Maple necks are often finished with a clear gloss or satin finish to highlight the natural beauty of the wood.
2. Fingerboards: Maple is also used for guitar fingerboards, the smooth surface where the frets are embedded. Maple fingerboards offer a bright and snappy tone with excellent clarity and definition. They are often finished with a clear gloss or satin finish to protect the wood and enhance its appearance.
3. Top Woods: Maple is occasionally used as a top wood for electric guitars, particularly in semi-hollow and hollow-body designs. Maple tops can provide a bright and articulate tone with enhanced clarity and sustain.

Overall, maple is valued in guitar construction for its combination of strength, tonal properties, and aesthetic appeal. It is commonly used in conjunction with other woods, such as mahogany or alder, to achieve specific tonal characteristics and visual aesthetics in electric guitar designs.

About Ibanez

The Hoshino Gakki company began in 1908 as the musical instrument sales division of the Hoshino Shoten, a bookstore chain. Hoshino Gakki decided in 1935 to make Spanish-style acoustic guitars, at first using the “Ibanez Salvador” brand name in honor of Spanish luthier Salvador Ibáñez, and later simply “Ibanez”.

In the 1970s, the Nisshin Onpa company who owned the Maxon brand name, developed and began selling a series of effect pedals in Japan. Hoshino Gakki licensed these for sale using the name Ibanez outside Japan. These two companies eventually began doing less and less business together until Nisshin Onpa ceased manufacturing the TS-9 reissue for Hoshino Gakki in 2002.
