Unlock the full potential of your next build with our exquisite AA Jumbo Full Figured Bear Claw Sitka AA Top, an unparalleled choice for crafting flat top instruments.

Ideal for jumbo acoustic guitars and basses, this high-grade figured Sitka spruce soundboard promises a foundation of vibrant tone, superior projection, and enduring beauty.

Enhanced Resonance and Tonal Depth

The natural aging process of our old-growth Bear Claw Sitka AA Top cultivates wood fibers with an extraordinary ability to resonate, delivering a tonal depth and clarity rarely found in younger alternatives. This figured Sitka spruce tonewood ensures superior sound projection, dynamic range, and harmonic richness, making it an exceptional choice for instruments where powerful volume and articulate response are paramount. Experience the rich, balanced acoustics that only naturally seasoned figured Sitka spruce soundboards can provide, bringing your flat-top instruments to life with remarkable sustain and character.

Technical Specifications for Your Masterpiece

  • Dimensions: Approximately 23″ L x 8.5″ W per side (2-piece bookmatched set), ensuring ample material for jumbo flat top instrument construction.
  • Grade: AA Grade (Full Figured Bear Claw) – showcasing prominent and consistent bear claw figuring across the soundboard.
  • Species: Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis) – prized for its strength-to-weight ratio and acoustic properties.
  • Source: 100% salvage-sourced old-growth timber, sustainably harvested.
  • Cut: Precision quartersawn bookmatched set for optimal grain orientation and structural stability, ideal for a flat top.
  • Moisture Content: Kiln-dried to exacting luthier specifications (typically 6-9% MC) for immediate use and stability.
