AAA Non-Figured Double Top Dreadnought Guitar Specification

Dreadnought soundboards are most commonly cut as 2-piece bookset boards measuring 8.5″ x 23″, though dimensions vary by luthier specifications. These Sitka Spruce Dread Guitar tops pattern per half as follows: Lower bout 8″, waist 5.25″, upper bout 5.75″ x 19.75-20″ inches long, which aligns with standard dreadnought guitar patterns. If your measurements approach these dimensions closely, we recommend contacting us before ordering to ensure optimal fit for your build.

These soundboards are produced with the finest tonewood fiber in the world, procured exclusively from salvage-sourced old-growth Sitka Spruce timber.

• Unmatched Tonal Excellence: The natural aging process of this premium tonewood fiber enhances its resonant properties, creating a rich, complex overtone series that plantation-grown alternatives simply cannot match.
