Joined and Routed Sitka Spruce Soundboard for Acoustic Guitar
Jumpstart your next acoustic build with our pre-cut tops! Crafted in our Ohio workshop, each top is expertly bookmatched, joined, shaped, and routed for a rosette.
You don't need a shop full of tools
Our pre-cut tops eliminate the need for thickness sanding or rosette routing. This is perfect for luthiers of all skill levels and saves hours of build time.
Premium Tonewood
We’ve crafted these tops from solid AAA Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis), a tonewood preferred by thousands of builders world wide. It has a broad tonal range and is incredibly responsive. It complements any style from delicate fingerpicking to hard-driving flatpicking. Each top is also available torified, giving you a headstart on the aging process and capturing the sound of a vintage guitar.
Choose your body size
We offer the popular sizes: dynamic Dreadnought, articulate OM, and focused 000. Each shape has its own unique sound, ready for you to shape with the back and sides you choose. Next, we’ve also got everything else you need to make your next build a breeze: shaped necks, neck and tail blocks, brace stock, and more. Get a body mold and you’re ready to build.
