Overview Master Adirondack Tops Acoustic Guitar:

You can't go wrong with an Adirondack spruce top.
Adirondack Spruce or Red Spruce (Picea Rubens) is a wood that grows near the northern Atlantic coast of America. From Nova Scotia to North Carolina, it gets its name from the mountain range where it commonly grows. They are majestic trees, some of them centuries old.

The adirondack spruce has achieved mythical status among makers as the wood used in most "pre-war" instruments. These guitars, especially those of the Martin and Gibson brands, have defined the ideal guitar sound for decades to come. This combination of sonic qualities and association with legendary instruments is what makes Adirondack spruce one of the most sought-after woods for acoustic tops. Think of the instruments of people like Neil Young, David Crosby, Tony Rice... Adirondack is present in all of them.

How are adirondack tops classified?

Adirondack spruce is somewhat different from other spruces in that its growth rings are more widely spaced and more pronounced than in other spruce species. Therefore, it is normal to find tops with more widely spaced rings than in similar categories of other spruces. In spite of this, the classification is based on the same criteria and takes into account factors such as the hardness of the top, the presence or absence of defects such as knots, resin deposits, etc.

Therefore, in Master grade tops we will find tops with growth rings as close together as possible, within the range of this spruce. Free of defects or with these outside the outline of the finished top. Sawn at 90º or with little variation, very stiff and of uniform color or insignificant variation.

Finally, don't forget that in addition to Adirondack spruce at Maderas Barber you can find a wide selection of other woods for the top of your instrument.

Features:

  • Size: (550x200x4,5 mm)x2
  • Botanical Name: Picea rubens
  • Origin: Northwest USA and Eastern Canada
  • Density: 400-500 Kg/m3

Very good sound

Well it took a few months to build my flamenco guitar. Using this top as soundboard.
This week I finished the guitar and played it for the first time. It surprized me when I heard the sound. I 've build it following a Santos Hernandez bracing. So I recommend this product.

Pretty wood

This top is really clean looking although the grain is a bit wider than I’d like on the edges, but perfect for my taste one the center. I can’t wait to use it when it’s dry enough on a OM style guitar !

Nice top!

I ordered this one without picture option. And I got a very good piece of wood. Will become a flamenco guitar together with the MB cypress back and sides.
