• The AAA Quilted 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.
  
  

  Quilted Maple is a light-yellow white wood with a density of 610–680 Kg / m3. Its sapwood does not differ from the heartwood, it is recommended to dry it in a chamber with low temperatures, if the drying is done very quickly the wood retains its white hue, on the contrary, if it is done slowly it acquires a slightly brown hue. It has a smooth and uniform texture. It is a very easy wood to work. Maple Quilted wood is highly prized for its wavy figure that simulates water ripples providing three-dimensionality and mirror reflections to the surface.
