- 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.
