Our take on the StewMac Lutz Spruce Soundboard for Dreadnought Guitar

This is a bare Lutz spruce top plate for building or repairing a dreadnought acoustic guitar. Lutz spruce is a natural Sitka-Engelmann hybrid, so it tends to sit between the two in stiffness and warmth, with good headroom for strumming. It is sold as raw wood, not a finished guitar part, so it suits builders who already have bracing, thicknessing and finishing skills. Compared with Sitka tops it is often described as slightly warmer and more responsive, while remaining stiffer than pure Engelmann.

Questions and answers

Is this a finished guitar top?
No. It is a raw spruce soundboard blank. You thickness it, brace it, and finish it yourself.
Lutz versus Sitka spruce: what is the difference?
Lutz is a Sitka-Engelmann hybrid. It is usually a little warmer and more responsive than Sitka while staying stiffer than pure Engelmann.
Will it fit my dreadnought build?
It is sized for a dreadnought body, but check the outline against your plan. You trim the plate to your own template.
What else do I need to build with it?
You need bracing stock, glue, clamps or go-bars, a thickness sander or hand plane, and a binding and finishing setup.
Does it come with bracing or a rosette?
No. The plate is wood only. Bracing, rosette and purfling are bought separately.
Is Lutz spruce good for strumming and flatpicking?
Yes. Its stiffness gives good headroom for hard strumming, and its warmth suits singer-songwriter playing.
