Top Sitka Spruce, 1A, tempered, dreadnought

$57.19

Sitka Spruce is very stiff. Because of its strength and toughness, it is well suited for steel string acoustic guitars. It has even been used successfully for classical guitars. The color of Sitka Spruce ranges from white to pinkish to light brown. Some tops display a lot of color variation. 

“Tempered”, “roasted”, “baked” or "cooked" woods are exposed to temperatures of 350° to 425° Fahrenheit (about 180°-220° Celsius). They are cooked in a vacuum chamber so that there is no flame or burning. The process is called torrefaction. There are a number of positive results with tempered wood including a darker color, greater stability, feel, and tone.
