I think my title says it all. I was looking at a uses ass and I started wondering if the ass' with the maple top have a different tone then the ones with out? Is that top for tone and looks or just looks?
Question Is the maple top on an ass just for looks?

It's not just the top that's different- the Axis/ASS is basswood with a maple cap. The Sports were Ash.

The ASS MM90 is apparently ash/maple top

Really? I never knew that.
But yeah I've heard that the maple top gives it a brighter tone.

Yes it is, and it also ships set up with .010s

our tops are actually tops......many of the modern guitars use a very thin veneer....the maple top brighteds things a bit

I didn't know that either. I knew the Sport was ash, but not the ASS MM90 maple top.
Yup, confirmed it from the website. Interesting.

ASS MM90 hardtail.
Excellent. Must get another one at some stage. Maybe in Olive Gold w/piezo, maple neck.

I have the MM90 Piezo (ash). It sounds wonderful. Last night, I played at another show where I spot lighted the ASS. It's amazing how many positive comments I get from the appearance and tone of the guitar. Certainly a lot more than my other brand guitars.
