This wood is lightweight and porous. Its color is light with pronounced dark brown grain patterns which makes it ideal for transparent finishes. Popular with country, blues, rock and metal players alike, Swamp Ash is highly resonant and offers a nice balance of pleasant highs, firm lows, and a slightly scooped midrange.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaple\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nSourced mostly from the Northern United States and Canada and is commonly used to make necks.
