Frequently Asked Questions

Mineral maple tends to be a bit denser, resulting in a slightly drier, more focused tone with a touch more low-end punch than traditional maple.
The shells are not pre-damped, allowing for maximum natural resonance. Experimentation with dampening is recommended to tailor the sound to your specific needs.
While beautiful, the exotic veneer is susceptible to scratches and damage, so careful handling and a padded gig bag are essential for preserving its appearance.
