About your Top

Flamed Maple

Flamed maple (Acer spp.) is a hardwood native to North America and Europe, prized for its distinctive chatoyant grain pattern, often referred to as "flames" or "tiger stripes." This effect is caused by the wood’s unique growth structure, which creates a three-dimensional, wavy appearance. The color ranges from pale cream to warm amber, sometimes deepening with age or finishing. With a fine, even texture and excellent workability, flamed maple has been a staple in instrument making for centuries.

Lovely Curves

M-Series tops are bent on the armrest which keeps intact the beautiful grain as well as creating an ergonomic and delicate curve to rest on.

Modern Electronics

The M-Series comes equiped with our Modern Electronics.

Contrary to what the name might evoke, the Modern Configuration is modern by its power, versatility and potential, rather than being specifically meant for modern genres like prog or fusion. But it does it like nothing else !

This Configuration features active electronics, more complex layouts for advanced tonescaping, and our AURA III Pickups Family. These are noisecancelling pickups with modern components and advanced architectures.

Pickups

The AURA III-M offers dynamic range and tonal complexity, ensuring that your bass lines cut through the mix with authority.
