The archtop guitar is unique in how it's built, and also in how we mill the wood for this guitar top set. We need a certain size log to capture two consecutive 1’’ cuts from the same block to yield a perfectly bookmatched set. Spruce is preferred by luthiers for the soundboard on archtops, both for its strength-to-weight ratio and ability to resonate.

Being a luthier-hobbyist myself, I recently built a Flamenco guitar using sonically graded Sitka spruce from Pacific Rim Tonewoods. The quality of their wood helped me make a clear step forward as an instrument builder, and I'm looking forward to collaborating with this amazing company for many years to come.

One of my jobs at Collings Guitars for the last 33 years has been ordering and putting into production Pacific Rim Tonewoods Sitka spruce tops. The quality and consistency of their soundboards is outstanding—it doesn’t get any better.
