Mahogany Body with Maple Cap for a Resonant and Balanced Tone
The Mike Schleibaum MSV-1 features a mahogany body with a maple cap, a combination of tonewoods that delivers a warm and resonant tone with a balanced frequency response. The mahogany body provides a solid foundation with a rich midrange and focused low-end, while the maple cap adds clarity and articulation to the high end. This combination creates a versatile tonal platform that's equally suited for heavy riffs, soaring leads, and clean, articulate chords.
