[Wood] Maple [Used For] Back / Sides [Properties] 
Available with either a 'flamed' or a 'quilted' figuring, maple has a very light colouration, and produces a sound with a very fast attack, particularly suiting faster, percussive styles of play. Tonally, maple tends to enhance the mid-range and trebles, and is best combined with a spruce top.
