Sawtooth Maple Series

 

Sawtooth's Jumbo Maple series guitars offer an incredibly beautiful guitars with a very rich tone. The combination of solid sitka spruce tops with maple back and sides produces clear and present sound, and has amazing projection.

Sawtooth Maple Series Jumbo guitars are great for chord work and are more balanced across the spectrum than dreadnoughts. Impressive projection, strong low end bass response and top end clarity makes these guitars a great choice for the studio, practice room, or on stage.

Solid Sitka Spruce Top

Sitka Spruce delivers a broad dynamic range, which produces a crisp, immediate articulation while being versatile in terms of its sound. This makes sitka spruce suitable for just about any style of playing.

Sitka Spruce has a warmer, more fundamental sound, largely free of overtones. When combined with Flame Maple, the combination produces sounds that are clear and loud, and tend to emphasize the fundamental of a note more than its overtones.

Flame Maple Back & Sides

 

Flame Maple is a very hard type of wood with good tonal qualities and good sustain. Flame Maple has a strong low-end response and plenty of projection and clarity in the top end, and can be loud and project well. Flame Maple can also provide a considerable amount of treble.

Flame maple has a relatively quick note decay and provides excellent separation where every note sounding at the same time has clear definition. This makes it a great choice for any live performances because the clarity of tone cuts through the mix well and will lead to less feedback.

These preamp systems feature Volume, Tone shaping (Bass, middle and treble), and Phase controls; a pre-wired Fishman Sonicore pickup and low profile control knobs. Also includes a built in tuner, low battery indicator and a separate battery box.

 

Ovangkol Pinned Bridge

The Sawtooth Maple Series combines an Ovangkol bridge with traditional bridge pin design and compensated saddle, delivering a full, warm, sound and accurate intonation.

Ovangkol is a beautiful wood with musical characteristics that are very similar to Rosewood, with a slightly fuller midrange and a top end that's not quite as bright as maple.

Maple Neck
