The Aged Maple Neck is a unique option for those looking for a wood with a vintage look. This handle has undergone a special aging process consisting of autoclave treatment with ammonia gas, which gives it a stable, uniform and permanent colour.

Aged wood has a vintage look, which is widely used in the manufacture of relic guitars. It is a trend that originated in the United States that consists of replicating in a new guitar the wear and tear caused by use and the passage of time. For this reason, the Weathered Maple Neck is one of today's favourite choices.

Aged Maple Neck ageing process:

The maple neck aging process is made from wood that has been dried using a water extraction process in vacuum dryers. The wood is aged by autoclave treatment with ammonia gas. This gas penetrates into the wood and a chemical reaction takes place between the ammonia gas and the tannic acid in the wood structure. The result is a stable, uniform and permanent colour throughout the piece.
