Frequently Asked Questions
Roasted maple is kiln-dried at a higher temperature, reducing moisture content and improving stability, leading to less warping and a smoother feel.
They're meticulously crafted to vintage specifications, aiming for the sonic character of early '50s pickups – a slightly warmer, more nuanced tone than modern pickups.
The heavy aging is cosmetic, but ash bodies are naturally more porous and can show some minor checking and wear with regular playing, adding to its character.
