Frequently Asked Questions

Birch tends to be more focused and articulate, while maple offers a warmer, more resonant tone. The Stage Custom is a good compromise, delivering clarity without sacrificing too much warmth.
The included legs are functional for most players, but serious hitters or those who frequently transport their kit might consider aftermarket legs for added stability.
It’s a vibrant, slightly muted red – definitely a noticeable Cranberry Red, not a deep burgundy, but with a touch of sophistication.
