Discover the exceptional acoustic potential of this A-grade non-figured Sitka Weissenborn top set, meticulously sourced from salvage-recovered old-growth Sitka Spruce. This two-piece bookset is designed to fit standard Weissenborn patterns (approximately 8″ x 32″), offering luthiers access to premium tonewood for crafting instruments with superior resonance and tonal character that only ancient timber can provide.
Enhanced Resonance for Your Weissenborn Guitar
The acoustic excellence of a Sitka Weissenborn top set stems from centuries of natural seasoning inherent in old-growth timber.

The natural aging process creates wood fibers with enhanced resonant properties, producing a rich, clear voice that plantation-grown alternatives cannot match. When you select this Weissenborn top set, you’re choosing soundboard material engineered by nature over centuries.
