Engelmann Spruce, Picea engelmannii
Also known as "White Spruce", Engelmann has been loved by guitar makers for decades because of its creamy look when compared to Sitka. The uniform color and tight grain make it ideal for carving an archtop with a loud, commanding tone. It also has a high headroom, giving even heavy-handed players plenty of nuance and depth.
With a present and pleasing midrange, full bass, and shimmering highs, there is little Engelmann can't do. These beautiful trees are becoming harder to find, especially in the size required for an archtop. Don't wait—get the perfect top for your masterpiece before it's gone!
