Spruce and walnut has become a standard around here lately for its big sound and classic look. My favorite thing about a good spruce top is that I can play pretty hard and it doesn’t give up. This Sitka spruce top has a Bearclaw figure that combines with the bird’s foot purfling to look nice and fancy. The Oregon walnut back and sides is from Goby in Portland, the spruce is old growth salvage from Alaska, the pistachio is from California orchards and the mahogany neck is salvaged from a construction project.
