Each luthier is unique in their approach to the craft of guitarmaking. That’s why we curated the Vault in our online shop – to help luthiers find that singular piece of tonewood that can elevate your instrument in look and sound. 

For electric and acoustic guitars, our collection of koa, redwood, bearclaw, and flamed and figured maple is one-of-a-kind, so check back regularly. And only in the Vault, can luthiers specify the density, stiffness, and Q value of our sonically graded Lutz and Sitka spruce.

FAQ's

What is the return policy?

Our goal is for every customer to be totally satisfied with their purchase. If this isn't the case, let us know and we'll do our best to work with you to make it right.
What sets the Vault apart from the other products in our online store?

There is a distinction between the sonic wood in the Vault and the Shop categories: luthiers can toggle/adjust the Q, density, and stiffness to find what they're looking for sonically. This is more sophisticated than choosing from the pre-sorted sonic grades (low, med, high) available outside of the Vault. 
How often do you add new pieces to the Vault?

New pieces are added about 1–2 times a month, sometimes sooner, depending on what comes through the mill. Because each set is truly unique, availability is limited, and pieces often sell quickly. To get early access to pieces added, you can sign up for our Luthiers’ Edge Vault Newsletter.
Can I select the exact piece of wood I’ll receive?

Yes. Unlike our standard shop products, Vault listings display the exact, photographed set, including details such as grain, figure, and colour. When you order from the Vault, the piece you see online is the piece that arrives at your bench. This makes it ideal for builders who want to design an instrument around a specific aesthetic or acoustic property.
Do Vault products include sonic grading data?

Shipping is calculated based on your location and the items in your order. You will always know the shipping price before you purchase.
What species can I expect to find in the Vault?

The Vault rotates, but you’ll commonly find koa, redwood, bearclaw Sitka spruce, Engelmann spruce, quilted maple, flamed maple, and highly figured backs and sides. We also add electric guitar drop tops and billets with striking figures. Our mill team curates a selection, so every Vault listing represents something visually or acoustically special.
Are Vault items graded visually as well as sonically?

Yes. Visual grading is still an essential step. We look at grain clarity, bookmatching, color consistency, and figure. For spruce, grading is paired with sonic testing. For maple, koa, and redwood, we focus on unique figure, chatoyance, and colour that elevate the artistry of a build. Vault pieces meet the highest criteria in both appearance and performance.
Are Vault woods dried and ready to use?

All Vault sets are dried, stabilized, and conditioned in our dehumidification kiln. Moisture content is kept at about 6% for long-term stability and tonal reliability. That being said, we always recommend that you dry and acclimate the wood according to your own schedule/protocols.
Do you ship Vault products internationally?

Yes, we do offer international shipping to select countries across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. That being said, not all products can be shipped internationally, and not all countries are eligible. Some species (such as rosewood or koa) may be subject to export restrictions, and additional shipping fees may apply.

If you’re outside the U.S. and unsure whether we can ship to your location or fulfill a specific order, please contact us before placing an order. We’re happy to help you check.
