Elevate your next acoustic guitar build with this exquisite AAA Bearclaw R-Hand Cut Away Dread Top, meticulously sourced from premium old-growth Sitka Spruce. This tonewood soundboard is specifically designed for discerning luthiers crafting right-hand cutaway dreadnought guitars. It offers stunning visual character with its distinct bearclaw figure and provides the unparalleled sonic properties expected from a top-tier dreadnought guitar top, ensuring your instrument stands out both visually and acoustically.
Approximately 60% of acoustic guitars built today feature cutaway models. Rather than discarding premium tonewood trim during construction, these cut away dread tops utilize the same rigorous grading criteria as our full-figured sets. The difference lies in the upper bout dimensionsโdesigned specifically for cutaway body styles while maintaining the exceptional sonic and visual qualities luthiers demand.
The magic of an exceptional acoustic instrument lies in its tonewood selection, and this AAA Bearclaw Cut Away Dread Top delivers exceptional performance. Sourced from centuries-old growth Sitka Spruce, the timber’s naturally aged fibers offer an outstanding stiffness-to-weight ratio. This translates into remarkable projection, a wide dynamic range, and crystal-clear tonal separation across the frequency spectrum. The prominent bearclaw figure, indicative of increased stiffness and wood density, further enhances the soundboard’s vibrational characteristics, contributing to rich overtones and incredible sustain. Craft a dreadnought guitar that sings with unmatched clarity and depth.
Most two-piece bookset soundboards are cut at 8.5″ x 23″, though pattern consistency across width and length may vary. These dreadnought tops will pattern per half according to the specifications listed above, which align with standard dreadnought guitar templates. If your build specifications differ from these dimensions, please contact us before ordering or include details in your order comments during checkout.
