Our take on the StewMac Sitka Spruce Soundboard for Dreadnought Guitar

A bookmatched Sitka spruce top blank sized for dreadnought acoustic guitars, sold by StewMac for builders and repairers. Sitka is the standard top wood for dreadnoughts: stiff along the grain, light, and voiced for strong projection and a punchy low end. It is a raw soundboard, not a finished top, so it suits someone who planes, braces and thicknesses their own plates rather than a drop-in replacement. Against mahogany or cedar tops, Sitka gives a brighter attack and more headroom before it breaks up.

Questions and answers

Is this a finished guitar top?
No. It is a raw bookmatched spruce plate. You join, thickness and brace it yourself.
Will it fit my dreadnought build?
It is sized for dreadnought plans, but check the outline against your own mold or template before buying.
How does Sitka compare with cedar or mahogany?
Sitka is brighter and stiffer with more headroom. Cedar is warmer and softer; mahogany is drier and more fundamental.
Do I need to thickness it?
Yes. Expect to plane or sand it to your target thickness and tap-tune it before bracing.
Is it bookmatched?
Yes, the two halves are matched for grain and color so they can be joined into one top.
What else do I need to finish it?
Bracing stock, a joining setup, glue, binding and finish. The plate alone is not a playable top.
