Figured Mahogany available for $400 upcharge. This particular set is heavier than regular mahogany, and the tap tone is very complex.
We topped Bryan's guitar with Adirondack (Red Spruce).
Dana says: " Red spruce is also relatively heavy and has a high velocity of sound. It also has the highest stiffness across and along the grain of all the topwoods. Like Sitka, it has strong fundamentals, but it also exhibits a more complex overtone content. Tops made out of red spruce have the highest volume ceiling of any species, yet they also have a rich fullness of tone that retains clarity at all dynamic levels. In short, red spruce may very well be the Holy Grail of topwoods for the steel-string guitar."
