[Roasted Flame Maple RSFB 2539]

Product Code: RSFB 2539

This high-quality Canadian Roasted Curly Maple is a premium tonewood blank designed for guitar or bass neck construction, featuring a stunning curly (flamed) figure. Supplied as quarter sawn (1 pc) with dimensions of 970 x 120 x 25 mm. Roasted maple is inherently superior for instrument building as the thermal modification process stabilizes the wood structure and fundamentally transforms its physical properties.

Through this specialized heat treatment, the wood becomes significantly lighter and stronger, offering improved resistance to string tension and truss rod pressure. It features minimal internal stress and is highly hydrophobic, ensuring outstanding stability against fluctuations in humidity and temperature. The deep color transformation and distinct curly figure make this a special choice for any custom build. (The image shown is actual – the wood is finely planed).

✨ Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

Q: What is the benefit of "Quarter Sawn" for a neck?
A: Quarter-sawn grain ensures maximum stiffness and superior resistance to warping, as the grain is perpendicular to the fretboard.

Q: Is this dimension suitable for bass guitars?
A: Yes, the 910 mm length is ideal for crafting bass guitar necks, including longer scale instruments.

Q: Why is "Curly" maple so highly regarded?
A: Beyond its excellent tonal qualities, it provides a luxury aesthetic with a distinct 3D shimmering wave effect.

Q: Is it suitable for natural (oil) finishes?
A: Absolutely. Roasted maple's stability and sealed pores look stunning with oil or wax finishes.

Q: Does thermal treatment affect machining?
A: Roasted wood is slightly more brittle than raw maple; we recommend using sharp tools for routing and drilling.
