Frequently Asked Questions
Birch will be warmer and more resonant, lacking the drier, more focused attack of maple. Maple tends to cut through a mix more easily.
The SBF1816 legs are well-engineered and robust, handling most playing styles, but extremely aggressive playing might benefit from upgraded hardware.
It's a true matte finish, not a satin. It absorbs light, which is great for stage presence, but also means it's more susceptible to showing fingerprints.
