BIG LEAF MAPLE BURL DROP TOP Nº 8

Oregon Maple is a wood traditionally used for archtop and electric guitars. This wood, from the North American Pacific coast, is a species with special characteristics. Its popularity has been increasing among luthiers thanks to its figure with curly and quilted details that make it especially attractive.

This type of wood comes from trees of the Acer genus and is used for very valuable products because it is a very desirable and limited wood species. It is also very strong, heavy and resistant to bending and impact.

Big Leaf Maple or Big Leaf Maple offers a thick sound in the low tones and a fast "attack" with a fast decay of the sound. As a result, its tone is reminiscent of old school players.
