What type of wood is the body on this guitar?


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know what type of wood the body on this MIK Hamer Californian is?

Reading online, it seems like they made them out of different types of wood so I was hoping someone can recognize the wood grain on it from the picture.

Thanks!

Or am I wrong and even if it's maple it doesn't necessarily mean it has to have that flamed pattern?

Normally when someone references Maple it's just plain unless they're referring to "figured" Maple such as Birdseye, curly or Flame... there are so many varieties of maple in itself... figured maple is primarily used for aesthetic reasons "flame Maple necks are more prone to twisting"... here are the 4 most commonly used Maples YThQFw1.png

Starting to get stuffy in here. Must be the fumes from the woodgrain fillers off that other thread

A little bit of this will clear things up...
