Flamingo Series - Dreadnought #1
Introducing our exquisite coloured Engelmann Spruce guitar tops – a true testament to nature’s artistry and craftsmanship. Each top in the “Flamingo Series” showcases a unique range of shades and patterns of pink. This figuring occurs when wood undergoes a natural process of decay, resulting in stunning contrast and visual texture, transforming ordinary pieces into extraordinary works of art.
Engelmann Spruce is not only visually captivating but also offers unparalleled acoustic properties. Renowned for its light weight and strong stiffness to weight ratio, it produces a bright, resonant tone. It is the perfect choice for luthiers seeking to create instruments with exceptional projection and clarity. Each of our guitar tops is carefully sourced from local, sustainably managed forests, aligning with our commitment to responsible practices.
In addition to its sound qualities, the aesthetic appeal of pink Engelmann Spruce adds a sophisticated charm to any guitar.
