Sitka Spruce
|
Harvested in British Columbia,
Sitka Spruce. Standard on most production
guitars now, and for good reason. This top wood offers a punchy
direct sound although it tends to
have low overtone content. Many bluegrass players prefer Sitka
Spruce for this reason.
The color of Sitka ranges from white to creamy to very light brown.
It should be noted that some regions of Western Canada produce a
very white Sitka Spruce in which discoloring is rare. We target this
whiter Sitka Spruce in response to customers desiring a brighter,
purer white soundboard similar to Engelmann Spruce and European
Spruce. |

Western Red Cedar
|
Used for decades as a
soundboard material on classical guitars, Cedar is also popular
among steel-string enthusiasts. Cedar is a wood known for
producing a "warm," mellow tone, one whose overtones are evenly
distributed, rather than concentrated on the highs and lows, making
it especially suitable for finger style playing. Cedar's light brown
color also lends a guitar a visual warmth that many players find
appealing. With a dark mellow tone is
tends to be a great choice for finger picking and Celtic style
guitars. Another benefit is that is sounds "open" almost
immediately. |

Eastern Spruce
|
Our Eastern Spruce tops are sawn from
hand split billets, naturally seasoned to a moisture content of 6% and are
ready to use. Our tops are extremely stiff and have excellent tap tone.
Eastern Spruce grows in eastern Canada and the eastern United States. The
strongest and stiffest of all the spruce species and has a very high
velocity of sound, and has the highest stiffness across and along the grain
of all the top woods. Like Sitka, it has strong fundamentals, but it also
exhibits a more complex overtone content. Tops made out of Eastern spruce
have the highest volume ceiling of any species, yet they also have a rich
fullness of tone that retains clarity at all dynamic levels. We are very
fortunate to live in a part of eastern Canada where there has been very
little commercial logging and there still remain large old growth spruce
trees. |

Treasured Tonewood
HARVESTED 100+ YEARS AGO
|
Make your instrument truly unique by
using maple that has been salvaged from the depths of the lakes and
rivers of the Eastern Townships Region of Québec,
Canada. Salvaged virgin first growth hardwood 700 to
1200 years old. Grown under a thick canopy of evergreen
trees and competing for limited nutrients and sunlight
in overgrown forests virgin hardwood species matured
slowly accumulating up to 15 to 60 rings per
inch. These environmental conditions contributed to the
development of a finely grained, being of exceptional quality and beauty not found in today’s
hardwoods. |
