Sounds warm, woody, yet very defined and lively. Its responsive acoustic body couples with a more -electric- type of bridge arrangement, to radiate a great acoustic and amplified presence. This wood/metal combo brings on bell-like tones and harmonics.
Strings are DR Phosphor Bronze -Rare- .45 .65 .85 .105 for acoustic volume and feel. Other sets of Nickel -electric- strings, long-scale regulars, can also be used with the Maya. By changing strings you will then get a different response from the pickup, it will bring the bass to produce a more vintage electric, hollow-body type (Hofner, Gibson)of tone.
Inquire for any questions, I'd be glad to awnser them. Thierry A. July 2017
