Makore

Makore (Tieghemella heckelii) is a tropical hardwood native to West and Central Africa, valued for its rich, reddish-brown color and fine, interlocked grain. It has a natural luster that gives it a subtle shimmer, especially when finished. The grain can range from straight to wavy, sometimes producing a ribbon-like or mottled figure. Dense and durable, makore is commonly used in fine woodworking and instrument making due to its stability and smooth texture.

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 powerversatility and potential, rather than being specifically meant for modern genres like prog or fusion. But it does it like nothing else !

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