Spalted Series - Dreadnought #1
Introducing our exquisite spalted Engelmann Spruce guitar tops – a true testament to nature’s artistry and craftsmanship. Each top showcases a unique blend of intricate patterns that only spalted wood can provide. This rare 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.

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 spalted Engelmann Spruce adds a sophisticated charm to any guitar. Whether you're a seasoned artisan or an aspiring maker, our guitar tops will elevate your creations, making them stand out.
