All of my fiddles are Euro, but I've never had a piece big enough for a carved guitar. I bought a bunch of billets from Bruce Harvie about 25 years ago, and I'm still working through them. They were mixed Engelmann and Sitka, and not labeled as to which was which. I think the current one is Sitka, but I am not enough of an expert to have certainty. I thought it was Engelmann when I chose it yesterday, but now I am gluing in the braces, so I know it better.
