- The Purple 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.
Â
As for the Purple Heart, also known as Amaranth, is a wood that its cutting color is a gray brown but on contact with air oxidizes and the fantastic dark violet that we use for our guitars appears. It has its peculiarity in their different sizes and shapes buds that make Purple Heart a very attractive wood. The fiber is straight and the grain varies from fine to medium. The drying rate is from slow to normal and deformation or cracks may occur. The wood is easy to work but requires using powerful equipments.
