Is maple a good wood for a guitar body?
Hey everyone, I'm thinking about buying the Hamer Californian Quilt and it says the wood is quilted maple so I was wondering...
What does it mean by quilted maple?
What sort of sound do maple bodys give? Is it good? and what genre of music would a maple body guitar sound good for...?
also is maple wood heavy???
If you can answr any of these questions I would be very grateful... cheers 
Soft Maple:
Used extensively in Korea, it’s not as hard as hard maple. But it’s a little heavy, bright in the upper midrange, and dull sounding in the lows. The extreme snappy highs aren’t there either because the pores are so tight that the highs get compressed. Some redeeming qualities can be brought from it with the right pickups, if you like a brassy, searing upper midrange sound for the bridge or a dry, combed rhythm sound.
Production notes: Korean factories love it, for some reason it’s abundant and cheap for them. It’s harder on router bits than basswood, but they seem to be less concerned with clean, sharp cuts over there, indicating that they do not compensate with more frequent bit sharpening and replacement.
Hard Maple:
This wood “shouts”. It is loud with a strong upper midrange, bright highs, and tapered off but very tight lows. A pickup that produces good lows will find them in a Hard Maple body, but they will be tight and will not interact with a loud half stack.
Production notes: Very heavy and hard on tools, its rarely used in factories. It makes a good slim bodied guitar.
