These Sitka spruce guitar tops come from trees that grow in the forests of North West America, Canada and Alaska. Torrefaction is a relatively new development in the guitar world. Thermal modification uses a specialized kiln to apply heat to wood in the absence of oxygen. It’s a sophisticated technology that combines water, pressure and heat to age the wood without overcooking it in the process.
A thermally modified front is slightly lower in density and slightly stiffer across the grain. The wood should offer improved acoustic qualities. Supplied as a bookmatched pair - please specify your minimum required dimensions when ordering
