Maple Guitar Kits

About

Maple brings brightness, clarity, and visual impact to a guitar build. As a body wood, maple produces a tight, articulate tone with pronounced attack and clear note separation. Every note in a chord rings out distinctly, making maple an excellent choice for players who value precision and definition. Our maple guitar kits are available in several body styles, giving you the tonal brightness of maple across different playing configurations. Some kits use a full maple body, while others pair a maple top with a mahogany or basswood back to balance brightness with warmth. The visual appeal of maple is hard to beat. Figured maple, especially flame and quilted patterns, produces some of the most stunning guitar finishes possible. A clear or lightly tinted finish over figured maple creates a depth and shimmer that draws the eye. Maple is a dense, hard wood, which means it is heavier than mahogany or basswood. That density is where the brightness and sustain come from, but plan for a guitar that carries some weight. If you want a bright, clear-sounding instrument with show-stopping looks, a maple kit delivers on both fronts.
