Frequently Asked Questions

Maple offers a warmer, more rounded tone than birch, which tends to be brighter and more focused. The maple will have more 'body' and a slightly mellower attack.
No, these are undamped shells, offering the full natural resonance of the maple. Damping will need to be added if desired, depending on the playing style and venue.
The chrome hardware is solid and functional, but for very heavy gigging, consider upgrading to higher-end hardware down the line for added robustness.
