• The Curly Maple Drop Top for Electric Guitar and Bass is a very good option for those who want to beautify their Guitar Body with a medium thickness (7 mm). When we talk about the Drop Tops we talk about the little sister of the Carved, its function is very similar if not the same, the only difference is that the thickness of the Drop Tops is lower than the Carved one, which makes them cheaper. Their thickness also makes them lighter and moldable. On the other hand, it allows an easier cut than thicker Tops, reducing the weight of the instrument and of course the cost, having at the end a great guitar.
   
  As for the Curly Maple, it is a light white-yellow wood with a density of 610-680 kg/m³. The sapwood is no different from the heartwood; drying is recommended in a low-temperature chamber and if the drying is done very quickly the wood retains its white hue, however if done slowly takes on a slightly brown. It has a smooth, uniform texture. It is a wood very easy to work with. Curly Maple or Flamed Maple wood is prized for its figure, three-dimensionality and for providing liquidity to the surface.
