Rock Maple

“Canadian Rock Maple – the iconic material of bolt-on guitar necks since late 40′s. And for a reason. That classic bolt-on tone owes a lot to maple. One important detail often overlooked is that the threads of wood screws hold in maple extremely well, and the hardness of maple suits especially for bolt-on construction, making the joint stable when the pocket is tight. It just works.”

Rock Maple is stable and very strong tonewood that suits ideally to be used for bolt-on electric guitar necks. We offer maple also for fretboards, adding brilliance and clarity to the overall tone. Maple has been used for musical instruments for centuries.

Our maple is hand selected, always straight grained, stable and reliable. All our maple goes through Thermo Treatment. We stock plain and gently flamed maple, that are both safe to use in necks. Stronger flamed or birdseye figured maple are not available, since they are not in our experience suitable to be used as neck wood for stability reasons.
