Maple is the only wood used for backs and sides in the violin family so it is well known to instrument makers, even though just a modest percentage of guitars are made with it. Of the 128 species, most are found in Asia yet most of the tonewood harvested is from North America. It is often under-rated and can be among the very most beautiful of the native American woods. The fact that it is a domestic wood augments its popularity. Maple is well known for imparting a bright tone to an instrument, good balance and projection, with excellent note separation and a tight bass (a guitar with good separation allows each note of a chord to ring independently as opposed to sounding thick or clustered). It requires less care for fluctuation in temperature and humidity than many other woods.Well balanced sound on all 6 strings, one of the best tone woods and also one of the best neck woods. It really competes neck to neck with Brazilian rosewood and African Blackwood though on a different level... and, although normally bland and blond, the wood can look simply terrific. The great advantage of the species is that it is an American species, which translates in very little care when it comes to humidity conditions etc. It is very light compared to the tropical species but delivers with the same presence. It is one of the most beautiful woods and makes beautiful guitars. Often strikingly figured as “birds-eye”, "Quilted", or “flamed”.
