QUILTED ASH TOP

Ash is harder and stiffer than mahogany, sort of an open-grain maple. The pore structure is similar to oak. It's sound is focused, a fundamental-strong voice, with clean notes which are mostly overtone-free

MAPLE BACK & SIDES

Maple is well known for imparting a bright tone to an instrument, good balance and projection, with excellent note separation and a tight bass (a guitar with good separation allows each note of a chord to ring independently as opposed to sounding thick or clustered). It requires less care for fluctuation in temperature and humidity than many other woods.

BONE NUT & SADDLE

Bridge nuts & saddles made from bone are allot denser then their counterparts made from artificial materials like plastic, Micarta or Tusq. Bone nuts & saddles give a brighter more resonant tone with better attack, it will bring any guitar to life.
