Sitka Spruce

Found primarily in with west coast forests of the United states and Canada, Sitka Spruce is the most common spruce used by today's acoustic guitar manufacturers. It makes a very strong, projecting guitar with balanced resonant sound and good sustain. We particularly love it's versatile dynamic range.

Players with a aggressive style will enjoy it's nearly limitless ceiling, however fingerstyle players may have to wait for the guitar to break in before the complex overtones and harmonics can be heard, as Sitka shows a very strong tendency to improve with age, perhaps more than other woods. A must for Bluegrass or flatpicking style.
