Description

These high-grade tonewood tops offer exceptional acoustic properties, making them an ideal choice for building classical guitars with outstanding clarity and projection.

Classical Guitar Specifications: Most 2-piece bookset boards are cut at 7.5″ x 23″, though dimensions may vary. These Classical Non-figured Sitka spruce tops pattern per half as follows: 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 specifications, we recommend contacting us before ordering to ensure proper fit for your build.
These soundboards are produced from the finest tonewood fiber available. Procured from salvage-sourced old-growth Sitka Spruce, these booksets feature virtually perfect boards that represent very nice sets rather than Master Grade. Quantity price breaks are available for bulk orders.
