Artist Series Guitar Top - Dragon 7
Engelmann Spruce, most well known for its excellent tone quality, is an amazingly strong, light and flexible wood and has exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio. It can also showcase beautiful colour and characteristics that could give your guitar a unique look and feel.
This unique top has a very rare burl growth mixed with an extremely unique pink colour pattern and bulging tight grain. The top has excellent silk and cross grain fleck as well as a few bands of bear claw. The large bear claw like feature is due to the burl growth. We are calling it dragon’s claw. This top also has a band of figure crossing the mid point of the guitar.
There is a small bug hole extending 4mm into the centre joint. As this top is extra wide it should not affect glue-up. There is also minor cracking extending foes 35mm from the top
