I love the smell of Tucarensis in the Morning! This is my first guitar of the year, and I am looking forward to the more familiar territory. Carpathian top and a flitch matched set of Tuc, the only such set I have. Not perfectly quartered though close, but the flitch-match is actually a big deal IMO as it makes the density of the back and sides all one thing, and something of a constant.
I am a big fan of the wider grained Carpathian available when we first saw this material, and I acquired what seemed like quite a few sets at the time; I have only four left. This is very light weight for its stiffness, and should suit this customer. He has asked for a very low action for a light touch, but wants a lot of volume none the less. Wide Grained Carpathian is peerless among the spruces for this purpose IMO.
