Description

We had the good fortune at PRT to recently acquire a 900-1,000 year-old redwood tree that was salvaged from a creek as part of a salmon restoration project in Northern California. Redwood is sought after by luthiers for its rare beauty, rich sonic character and unique grain patterns and coloration. These electrics in our vault have a very intense figure. They can have a quilted look and also a flamed look, depending on how the light hits them.

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.
