High-grade float log Blue Denim Sitka Spruce classical-size guitar soundboard, produced with the finest tonewood fiber in the world. Procured from salvage-sourced old-growth timber.

After decades floating a house in a remote logging camp, the structure was moved to land and the log float salvaged. These boards were cut from a float log in the vicinity of a 12″ long spike that permeated the surrounding fiber with iron. The result is this oxidized blue board. Out of thousands of tops cut from these logs, only a few display the stain across the full length and width of both boards. The wood’s natural sugars have become crystalline with extra mineral content added. Could it sound better with this extra metallic element integrated into the fiber? As a luthier, you are perfectly positioned to discover the acoustic potential.

Classical – Most 2-piece bookset boards are cut 7.5″ x 23″, but may not pattern the full width and length. These Sitka Spruce soundboards will pattern [per half] lower bout 7.25-7.5″, waist 4.5″, upper bout 5.55-5.75″ x 19-20.25″ inches long, which aligns with standard classical guitar patterns. If your measurements differ from these dimensions, we recommend contacting us before ordering to discuss your specific requirements.

Enhanced Resonance for Your Sitka Spruce Classical Guitar

This Denim Sitka Spruce classical guitar top offers an exceptional foundation for tonal excellence. The unique provenance of this wood contributes to its remarkable acoustic properties and resonant characteristics:

• Unrivaled Tonal Characteristics: Sourced from old-growth Sitka Spruce timber, these boards possess naturally aged wood fiber, delivering superior projection and dynamic range for a rich, responsive classical guitar voice with exceptional clarity.
• Distinctive Sonic Signature: The natural oxidation from the submerged iron spike has permeated the wood, potentially infusing an extra metallic element into the fiber. This intriguing characteristic could contribute to a unique overtone series and sustain characteristics, awaiting discovery by discerning luthiers building at the highest level.
• Optimal Fiber Structure: Old-growth Sitka Spruce timber naturally develops a robust cellular structure, providing exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio crucial for the vibrant resonance desired in professional-grade classical instruments.
