Thesuperiorjam Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 i'm using maple on top of basswood... like some of the musicman axis guitars , thats the kinda tone i was looking for. but when i got the maple top it was really thin almost 1/4 inch , is that to thin to get the tone i want or is this normal....??? it looks really nice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba Pa Ti Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 doubt the top will alter the sound at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Just build your guitar, it will sound good. Don't worry about the tone voodoo stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prostheta Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 +1 And people will still argue about glue and its affect on tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 i'm using maple on top of basswood... like some of the musicman axis guitars , thats the kinda tone i was looking for. they generally have quite thin maple tops on those some musicman models have an internal mahogany 'tone block', chambered basswood outer body nd really thin maple top like this: look between the pickup and you will see the thickness of the maple top oh, and erm +1 to what the rest said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thesuperiorjam Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Its all good then ... although i am concerned that the maple might slightly warped, is that a big issue or something that can be dealt with, and if so how???
