Hey Folks,

I was looking at a justice steel in the for sale section and a few pictures from the justice website and the cabinet looks like MDF, but the justice website says its Solid Maple.

Are they maple with some sort of coating?

examples: http://www.justicesteelguitars.com/Justice%20Pro%20Lite%20bottom.JPG

I'm a bit curious about why and what is going on with these.

Thanks
-Jon

Maple cabinet with a coating to the under side for appearance and protection. Some have used flocking, some use a clear finish, ShoBud used a thick paint.

Thank you Doug. Every cabinet that has ever been built, for a Justice Steel Guitar, is Hard Rock Maple.
The sealer on the underside is much like what Sho~Bud used on all their cabinets.
Jon, I hope this put your mind at ease.

All of our cabinets are hard rock maple with primer and a textured paint to protect the wood. Thanks for posting the question and letting me clear up the confussion.

The Hard Rock Maple cabinet is wonderful and helps produce a beautiful tone. I love my Justice!

Thanks all. I sorts figured it wasn’t MDF being the two photos were different shades.

Very cool look it creates.

Jon
