Woods
Woods
Body : Roasted Ash
Roasted Ash undergoes a thermal treatment that reduces moisture content, increases dimensional stability, and slightly darkens the wood’s appearance. The process lightens the wood while making it less susceptible to environmental changes. Vibration response becomes faster and clearer due to reduced internal damping and lower water content.
Neck : Roasted Birdseye Maple
Roasted Birdseye Maple combines the visual elegance of birdseye figuring with the benefits of the roasting process. It is lighter, more stable, and highly resistant to warping and humidity changes. The roasting enhances both the color depth and performance of this already premium neck wood.
Fretboard : Roasted Birdseye Maple
Roasted Birdseye Maple combines the visual rarity of Birdseye figuring with the functional benefits of heat treatment. It offers enhanced dimensional stability, reduced moisture sensitivity, and a silky playing feel. The roasting process deepens its natural color and highlights the characteristic figuring beautifully.
