Description

Discover the exceptional beauty and acoustic character of our SPECIAL-6 Pack AA/AAA Grade Full-Figured Bearclaw Dread Sitka guitar soundboards. These bearclaw sitka spruce tops are crafted from the finest salvage-sourced old-growth timber, delivering the distinctive aesthetic appeal and superior tonal properties that luthiers seek when building dreadnought guitars with character and resonance. Each 6-pack contains sets graded several notches above standard A-grade offerings, providing outstanding value for instrument builders committed to creating unique, high-performing flat-top acoustics.

Enhanced Resonance and Tonal Excellence

The distinctive acoustic properties of bearclaw figured Sitka spruce contribute significantly to tonal superiority. The dense, naturally aged wood fibers from old-growth timber offer an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, resulting in remarkable projection and dynamic range. Instruments built with these bearclaw dreadnought tops exhibit rich harmonics, clear articulation, and sustained vibrancy—qualities highly valued by discerning musicians and luthiers crafting high-end flat-top instruments. The figure pattern itself enhances both visual appeal and acoustical performance, making these soundboards ideal for players and builders seeking tone with distinctive visual character.
