Frequently Asked Questions

Maple tends to be warmer and more resonant, lacking the aggressive, punchy attack of birch. It’s excellent for a broad range of styles, but might need some tweaking for very modern, heavily processed sounds.
It's a high-quality wrap finish, meaning it's a durable vinyl layer applied over the maple. This protects the wood and offers a consistent, striking appearance.
The AQ2 series is well-regarded for its solid construction and reliable hardware; you're getting a kit designed to withstand regular gigging and studio use.
