How do you feel about Moon Spruce tops in comparison to Carpathian, German, Italian, and Swiss Spruce tops?
In my experience, Italian is the one that provides the most "Engelmann-like" tone in terms of smoothness, yet with the added crispiness of Adirondack when strummed. German and Swiss in my experience have been "tight" sounding and brighter, more "bell-like" but not as much smoothness. Carpathian, whilst having that Engelmann-like tone, like Engelmann, seems to break up easier when strummed. Those are my limited experiences with guitars by Bourgeois and Martin, would be very interested in your views and wealth of experiences.
