Our take on the StewMac Lutz Spruce Soundboard AAA
This is a dreadnought-sized acoustic guitar soundboard (top) in AAA-grade Lutz spruce, sold by StewMac as a luthier part rather than a finished instrument. Lutz spruce is a natural Sitka-White spruce hybrid prized for stiffness and a balanced, punchy tone, and AAA grading means tight, even grain with few cosmetic flaws. It suits builders and repairers replacing or upgrading a top on a dreadnought body, not players looking for a finished guitar. Against Sitka or Adirondack tops, Lutz sits between them: more headroom and snap than typical Sitka, less stiffness and cost than premium red spruce.
- Lutz spruce hybrid combines Sitka and White spruce traits
- AAA grade means tight, straight grain and clean cosmetics
- Dreadnought size fits the most common steel-string body
- Stiff top with good headroom for strumming and flatpicking
- Natural finish lets the wood grain show

Questions and answers
- Is this a finished guitar or just a top?
- It is a bare soundboard blank, not a guitar. You brace, voice, and finish it yourself or have a luthier do it.
- How does Lutz spruce compare with Sitka?
- Lutz is a Sitka-White spruce hybrid. Builders describe it as stiffer and snappier than typical Sitka, with more headroom and a slightly brighter attack.
- Will it fit a standard dreadnought body?
- It is sized for a dreadnought, so it matches standard dreadnought plans and molds. Check your own outline before ordering.
- What grade is this top?
- It is AAA grade, meaning tight, even grain and few cosmetic defects. Expect some natural variation between boards.
- Does it come braced or with a rosette?
- No. It is an unbraced soundboard blank, so bracing, rosette, and binding are separate steps.
- Is Lutz spruce good for fingerstyle or strumming?
- It handles both. Its stiffness gives headroom for hard strumming, and a well-voiced top stays responsive for fingerstyle.
