![]() ![]() ![]() This is partly because they're thousand-dollar "strippers," their only redeeming quality being the name on the headstock. There are a LOT of all-maple guitars out there, but the Guitar Splinter crowd rarely get to see them - hence, I guess, the OP's question.Ī raw power would be, perhaps, my very last choice of in maple guitars. and perhaps those P-90s or maybe some SD SH1s ("59s")? Thinking a maple Explorer with a Padouk neck/ebony fretboard/stainless frets. But if it's like you say and it's anything like that Cort bass. full, round, and tight enough to break bricks on.īut for some reason I thought that the idea of a maple 6 string guitar would be hugely bright. that Cort would have had a rump that made J-Lo envious. If the bottom of sound had an actual ass. The one that records the best, has the biggest nuts, and has ENORMOUSLY TIGHT low end was the imported Cort. all woods that this armada of basses was made of. Swamp ash, Bubinga, Wenge, Alder, Agathis, Mahogany. I owned Warwicks, Fenders(P, J, Active 4 string J, and a passive 5 string J), Carvins (4), a Ricky, Deans, a Warmoth, a Steiny, on and on. But it has the tightest low end of any bass I owned. Ended up with a Korean Cort active 4 string, made of solid flamed maple. If you are looking for an all maple axe, and it doesnt have to be a les paul, I wold look into one of these, if you can find oneĬlick to expand.I played bass for about 8 years in the early 00's. One mans junk is another mans treasure, or something like thatĮDIT: My Kramer Baretta 85 Reissue is all maple, except for the fretboard, and it my favorite axe I own. Maybe mine was a dud, but I wont find out, as I wont play another one again. *Disclaimer-this is my opinion, on the only one that I ever played. If you want an all maple axe, go with something else, but not this. ![]() If you looked at it funny, it would start to wear off. It was very stiff, the frets were very sharp, it needed a grind and polish right off the bat, "which I didnt wait around to do", and the finish seemed like it was put on with elmers water based paint. The standard studios blow these out of the water, and I have played epiphones that were better than this. The whole guitar just felt like it was slapped together and sent out. The craftsmanship was straight up 2nd rate, if not 3rd rate. ![]() The problem wasnt the tone, it was the playability itself. Even though the guitar was chambered, it was heavy as hell, as Maple is a very heavy wood. Its not that it sounded bad, i actually had a nice tone, fairly bright, but thick. Well, I bought one for Christmas, got a great deal on a brand new one. Wow, your bringing up the Raw Power Les Pauls. ![]()
