This will be a wonderful guitar! Kudos for all of it: design, build and wood. Dave

Yowzah--this is looking awesome so far!

Maybe I missed it--is the top Adirondack? Looks lovely whatever it is.

Watching this thread closely as I have a koa build in the future with the Kinnaird West boys! Keep those pics coming fellers!

The top is Lutz Spruce, which when I looked it up, found out this:

Picea × lutzii as validly described in 1953 by Elbert Luther Little (1907-2004), in Journal of Forestry (Washington) 51st edition, is a nothospecies, a natural hybrid between white spruce (Picea glauca) and Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis). It is commonly known as Lutz's spruce, named after Yale University forestry professor, Harold J. Lutz, who collected the type specimens in Alaska in 1950.

And, because I’ve never mentioned this in a post, you are definitely not cool [emoji41] unless you have one of these to go with your guitar!
