An Adirondack spruce top for a powerful sound development.

A top made from Adirondack spruce (red spruce)

The coarse-grained North American spruce wood from the Adirondack Mountains was already being used in the early 20th century for the construction of the finest musical instruments due to its high quality and unique sound. Easily recognizable by its even structure and extremely fast response, the wood produces a very powerful and clear sound that is very expressive in the mid and treble frequencies. The fast and effortless development of every single note also makes the Advanced Jumbo attractive for fingerstyle and blues guitarists, as the notes last particularly long and fade out gently in the overtones thanks to the thermal treatment of the wood, a scallopedCeiling bracing:
