Discover the exceptional tonal warmth and unique aesthetic of the Earthtone High Grade Red Cedar Dreadnought Guitar Top Set. Crafted from rare, salvage old-growth Western Red Cedar, these exquisite tonewoods offer professional luthiers and passionate builders the ideal foundation for instruments with unparalleled resonance and distinctive character, perfect for creating your next masterpiece.
Time is what sets these Red Cedar Dreadnought Guitar sets apart from all others. The old-growth trees grew for 300 or more years and then died standing or blew over and lay on the forest floor, becoming reclaimed by the forest under new growth of moss and other trees. It’s the age and water combined with the cedar oils together over a long time that produced these colors of the fiber that cannot be replicated. Definitely unique and eye-catching, earthy in looks and tone. The namesake of our entire product line of Earth Friendly tonewood products.
When ordering, please specify the pattern size of the instrument you’re building. Dreadnought sets are typically 2-piece bookmatched boards cut 8.5″ x 23″, though dimensions may vary. These tops pattern as follows per half: Lower bout 8″, waist 5.25″, upper bout 5.75″ x 19.75-20″ inches long, which aligns with the range of dreadnought guitar patterns available. If your measurements crowd these dimensions, we recommend contacting us before ordering to ensure proper fit.
Experience the profound, rich resonance that only centuries of natural seasoning can provide. Our old-growth Red Cedar Dreadnought Guitar tops deliver an exceptional harmonic richness and a broad dynamic range, perfect for instruments renowned for their warm, articulate voice. The unique cellular structure of this ancient timber ensures superior vibrational transfer, yielding unparalleled depth and clarity that plantation-grown alternatives simply cannot replicate. This makes the dreadnought soundboard an ideal choice for acoustic instruments with distinctive tonal character.
