Maple Tops, What do they add? |
They look much more amazing than their non-maple topped counterparts 
The reason I've gotta wait for my guitar (there's a thread on that, if you want to check out) is because of that maple top in an amber sunburst finish. There's one available in the plain black finish, and one in trans black finish. But, that one looked the BEST ! It looked as if the guitar was on fire 
My question is - what does a maple top add to a guitar's tone, except the amazing looks of course ?
