Classic Tonewood Magic: Timeless Elegance in Sound The Fortus Signature Falcon doesn't shy away from its roots, maintaining the classic tonewood combo of maple and ebony. The double-cut maple body offers comfort and a tight, focused tone that semi-hollow enthusiasts have cherished for decades. With a maple neck cut to a standard “U” profile and an ebony fingerboard with 22 frets, this guitar ensures effortless playing in all positions. The spruce center block runs the length of the body, providing resistance against resonant-frequency feedback. This combination results in exceptional note definition, clarity, and sustain, allowing musicians to rock out louder with more gain without sacrificing control.
