Top wood

We use as a standard, sitka spruce on our guitars, which we think gives the guitars a well balanced sound with a long sustain. However we also carry German spruce and ceder as an option. the German spruce gives the guitar a warmer sound and less attack. The ceder on the other hand gives the guitar more attack and less sustain.
