• The Poplar 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 Poplar, our Tops are Poplar Burl, a white wood. It has its peculiarity in their buds of different sizes and shapes that make this wood very attractive visually. It is very light and has very low density. Poplar is easy to dry, but must take special care during natural drying and subsequent stacking. Poplar wood should never be stored in places with high humidity. Sawing is easy, but it is recommended to work with very sharp tools.
