Acoustic Back & Side Sets
We have solutions for your Component Requirements
Figured maple has hundreds of years of history as a favored wood for the backs and sides of acoustic musical instruments. The great violin master craftsmen such as Stradivarius used flamed maple in violins that are still cherished and played today.
Figured maple is prized both for its beauty and it's clean tonal qualities, which support the sound projected by the soundboard. Interestingly, the undulating fibers in flamed maple make the backs and sides more flexible by reducing the rigidity of the fibers. This results in better vibration and sound quality.
We carefully cut our backs and sides for:
Grain, texture and color
Excellent match between the patterns of the backs and sides
Our four-piece acoustic backs are cut at:
Dreadnaught: 22" x 9" x 4mm
Classic: 22" x 8" x 4mm
Side sets are cut at 34" x 6" x 5mm
We also manufacture acoustic guitar veneer sets, which give the guitar a high end look for a reduced price.
