Sitka
is a perfect source for soundboard because of its stiffness - it has the
highest strength-to-density ratio of species. This feature supply superb
tone quality, and that's why guitar builders around the world prefer Sitka.
Sitka Spruce tree itself is one of
the largest species in Canada, often more than two meters in diameter. The
large size provides more soundboards; exhibits true near true VG grain
quality. Old Growth Sitka Spruce can be virtually any grain spacing from 40
grains per inch to 8 grains per inch.
The color of Sitka ranges from white to creamy to very light brown.
Virtually all Sitka has a 2-3 inch layer of pinkish wood. That makes for
common pink shaded color in the center of many guitars.
Engelmann has a mature tone, and has a slightly richer midrange than Sitka,
which makes a guitar sound a bit deeper.
Up to 40 meters tall, the Englemann spruce is one of the taller conifers in
the southern interior mountain in British Columbia, Canada. It is found
throughout southern BC and up through the interior.
