Performance benefits of a thermally modified microstructure:
- Adds dimensional stability and resistance to temperature and humidity changes
- Increases resistance to warping
- Reduces density while maintaining stiffness for a lighter neck with sufficient strength
- Yields a microstructure similar to naturally aged woods with lower moisture content
- More resonance and less damping
- Eliminates the need for hazardous chemical treatments
- Vibrational testing indicates that roasted maple exhibits clearer tone with a stronger fundamental than untreated maple samples
Package includes:
- Roasted figured neck
- Black Sugar finish
- Ebony fretboard
- BFR inlay
* Available on all models except the Classic Series and Floyd Rose equiped guitars
