Discover the unparalleled beauty and acoustic excellence of our Bearclaw Classical Guitar tops. Sourced for their stunning full figure and exceptional tonal properties, these highly sought-after Sitka Spruce soundboards represent an ideal choice for crafting both classical and smaller steel string guitars. The distinctive bearclaw figuring delivers rich, vibrant resonance and a visual aesthetic that elevates any instrument to professional standards.
The finest bearclaw classical guitar tops available today showcase stunning full figure patterns ideal for classical and steel string guitar construction slightly smaller than dreadnought specifications. These two-piece bookmatched sets are cut to 7.5″ x 23″ blanks, with actual usable pattern dimensions tailored for classical guitar builds. Classical patterns typically feature lower bout dimensions of 7.25-7.5″, waist measurements of 4.5″, upper bout measurements of 5.55-5.75″ per half, and total usable lengths of 19-20.25″ inches. If your project measurements differ from these specifications, we recommend contacting us before ordering to ensure optimal fit for your build.
For smaller guitar builds, explore our “0” size tops for alternative dimensions.
Crafted from premium Sitka Spruce, bearclaw classical guitar soundboards are renowned for their exceptional acoustic qualities. The distinctive bearclaw figuring indicates more than visual appeal; it often reveals superior stiffness-to-weight ratio characteristics that contribute to enhanced projection, wide dynamic range, and remarkable tonal clarity. Professional luthiers choose bearclaw spruce for instruments demanding articulate response and a full, resonant voice that carries through performance spaces.
Each premium bearclaw classical guitar top is carefully prepared to meet the exacting standards of professional luthiers and instrument makers:
Every soundboard originates from naturally fallen or salvage-recovered trees, never from clear-cutting operations. This sustainable approach preserves old-growth forests while providing luthiers access to timber with centuries of natural seasoning. Our EarthTone Soundboards™ represent the environmental standard in tonewood sourcing and production.
Alaska Specialty Woods’ 30+ years of expertise ensures each set meets rigorous structural and aesthetic standards. Our comprehensive grading system evaluates not just visual appearance, but critical factors including grain slope, stiffness characteristics, and resonant properties that affect instrument performance. Professional luthiers worldwide rely on our consistent quality for their finest instruments and most demanding builds.
