Life in Colour Series - Dreadnought #9
Introducing our exquisite coloured Engelmann Spruce guitar tops – a true testament to nature’s artistry and craftsmanship. Each top showcases a unique blend of intricate patterns reds, browns, and sometimes 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.

Each of our guitar tops is carefully sourced from local, sustainably managed forests, aligning with our commitment to responsible practices.
