The pictures represent the exact set
for the Auction. There are two pieces in a set, combined to form a PARLOR SIZE top for a guitar. Each Piece is sized at
19"in * 6.75"in * .25"in. These are the STIFFEST tops, very light in
color, quarter sawn, with very nice
cross silk, excellent tap tone. The moisture content is always less than 12%. Due
to the high altitude of the location of the trees the grain on the tops is very
tight, 30-40 lines per inch. These tops are prepared by professionals, who have
been in this business for many years. The botanical name of this wood is PICEA ABIES. This wood is often compared
to Adirondack Spruce or American Red Spruce, but it still possesses the best tonal quality. Once you try to
build an instrument with this wood, you will never go back to using anything
else.
This is superb tonewood to use for quality sounding instruments. Just try
it, I guarantee you will love it!
