Our Floatlog Dreadnaught Guitar Top features high-grade blue floatlog Sitka Spruce, a unique tonewood sourced from salvage-recovered old-growth timber. These soundboards showcase a distinctive oxidized blue hue from decades submerged in water with iron content, creating an exceptional aesthetic and potentially enhanced crystalline acoustic structure for your custom instrument build.
Due to the unique nature of salvaged spruce guitar tops, we recommend contacting us or noting your specific project dimensions before ordering to ensure the perfect fit for your custom instrument.
Uncover unparalleled tonal character with our high-grade blue floatlog Dreadnaught guitar top. Crafted from exquisitely unique, salvage-sourced old-growth Sitka Spruce, this tonewood offers a striking visual aesthetic and a truly distinctive acoustic foundation for your next masterpiece. Ideal for luthiers seeking a soundboard that stands apart, this blue guitar top promises an inspiring building experience and exceptional sonic potential.
These tops are produced with the finest tonewood fiber in the world. Procured from salvage-sourced old-growth Sitka Spruce that spent decades floating as part of a house in a remote logging camp. After the house was moved to land, the log float was salvaged. These boards were cut from floatlog timber in the vicinity of a 12-inch spike that permeated the surrounding fiber with iron. The result is this distinctive oxidized blue board. Out of thousands of tops cut from these logs, only a few have maintained the stain across the full length and width of both boards. The wood’s sugars have become crystalline with extra minerals integrated throughout. This unique composition may enhance acoustic properties with its metallic element added to the fiber—a distinctive characteristic for luthiers to explore.
The unparalleled history of our blue floatlog Dreadnaught guitar top contributes to its exceptional acoustic performance. Decades spent immersed in water, coupled with the unique iron permeation from a salvaged spike, have led to a fascinating transformation of the wood’s internal structure. This natural aging process, which has created crystalline sugars and integrated additional minerals, may unlock a distinct resonance unmatched by standard guitar soundboard materials.
Every detail of this high-grade blue floatlog guitar top is meticulously managed to meet the exacting standards of professional luthiers:
Every floatlog Dreadnaught guitar top from our collection originates from naturally fallen or salvage-recovered trees, never from clear-cutting operations.
