Our take on the StewMac Red Spruce Soundboard for Dreadnought Guitar

This is a bare dreadnought soundboard in red spruce, sold by StewMac for building or repairing an acoustic guitar. Red spruce is the stiff, light top wood prized on pre-war Martins, so it suits builders who want a loud, articulate dreadnought with strong headroom. It is a raw component, not a finished guitar: you supply bracing, a rosette, a bridge plate and the rest of the build. Compared with Sitka spruce tops, red spruce is typically stiffer and a little harder to voice, but it rewards a careful builder with more punch and clarity.

Questions and answers

Is this a finished guitar top or just the wood?
It is a bare soundboard blank. You brace, rosette, thickness and finish it yourself as part of a build or repair.
How does red spruce compare with Sitka spruce?
Red spruce is generally stiffer and denser, with more headroom and a punchier attack. Sitka is more forgiving to work and voice, which is why many factory guitars use it.
Will it fit a standard dreadnought mold?
It is sized for a dreadnought, so it should fit common Martin-style dreadnought plans and molds. Check your plan's outline before gluing.
Do I need to thickness it before bracing?
Usually yes. The board is supplied as a blank, and final top thickness depends on your bracing and target stiffness, so measure and plane to your plan.
Is it suitable for a first build?
It can be, but red spruce is less forgiving than Sitka. A first-time builder may prefer a softer top wood, or should practice voicing on scrap first.
What is included with the soundboard?
The soundboard itself. Bracing, rosette, bridge plate, kerfing and finish are separate purchases.
