Our Sitka Spruce Archtop Guitar fronts deliver exceptional tonal clarity and resonance, crafted from responsibly salvaged old-growth timber sourced from a 1998 bridge stringer log. These AAA-grade soundboards weigh approximately 15% lighter than standard Sitka Spruce, offering the acoustic properties of fine-textured Western Red Cedar with superior projection and sustain. Precision quartersawn vertical grain construction maximizes vibration transfer, while occasional bearclaw patterns add visual character to your instrument.

Discover the pinnacle of acoustic craftsmanship with our Ultra Light Sitka Spruce Archtop Guitar Top, meticulously engineered for professional luthiers and discerning instrument makers. This exceptional soundboard for your Sitka Spruce Archtop Guitar offers an unparalleled foundation for crafting instruments with exceptional tonal character and resonance. Sourced from salvage-recovered old-growth timber, this tonewood delivers the acoustic performance that defines a superior archtop guitar soundboard.
Our Ultra Light Sitka Spruce Archtop Guitar tops are produced from the finest tonewood fiber in the world. Procured from salvage-sourced old-growth Sitka Spruce, this material represents centuries of natural maturation and acoustic development unavailable from younger, plantation-grown alternatives.
Cut from a bridge stringer log we purchased in 1998—a log originally cut in the early 1980s for bridge construction—this timber stands as the lightest weight Sitka Spruce we have encountered out of millions of board feet processed. At 15% lighter than typical Sitka Spruce, it rivals the weight of fine-textured Western Red Cedar while maintaining superior acoustic properties. The wood exhibits a slightly looser grain structure than most old-growth specimens, with grain widths that vary from the log’s butt to its upper reaches 60+ feet up the tree. The result is soundboard material that is distinctly loud and vibrant, with most boards displaying the characteristic bearclaw figure.
Experience the unparalleled acoustic superiority of this ultra-light Sitka Spruce Archtop Guitar top. Sourced from exceptional old-growth timber, this tonewood exhibits an extraordinary stiffness-to-weight ratio, ensuring superior projection and a broad dynamic range. The natural aging process, spanning centuries, has imbued the wood fibers with enhanced resonant properties, delivering a soundboard that is 15% lighter than typical Sitka Spruce while remaining remarkably loud and vibrant.
This unique characteristic makes it an ideal choice for a Sitka Spruce Archtop Guitar where clarity, volume, and sustain are paramount. The tonal richness delivered by this old-growth material is unmatched by younger alternatives, providing the depth and responsiveness that professional luthiers seek when building instruments of distinction.
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 tonewood with centuries of natural seasoning. Our EarthTone Soundboards™ represent the environmental gold standard in soundboard production, ensuring that your Sitka Spruce Archtop Guitar is built on a foundation of responsible forestry practices.
Alaska Specialty Woods’ 30+ years of expertise ensures each soundboard meets rigorous structural and aesthetic standards. Our comprehensive grading system evaluates critical factors including grain slope, stiffness, and resonant properties—not merely visual appearance. Professional luthiers worldwide depend on our consistent quality when crafting their finest instruments, knowing that our old-growth Sitka Spruce archtop guitar tops deliver the acoustic performance their instruments demand.
