Hi everybody - Do any of you have an opinion on top thickness for Engelmann spruce?

I searched around but didnt see anybody suggesting different-than-standard thicknesses. I did however find one interesting anecdote from a guy who built three essentially identical 00's with engelmann, sitka, and adirondack tops and said each top was around 0.100". He thought the Engelmann was by far the "best" sounding, being more open than the other two. Soooo, is 0.100" ideal or too thin if I'm going with the typical adi-braces for a L-00?

Any thoughts?

Sam
