| The one I played, about 20 yeras ago, was made of pine. It was at a folk festival in Lincolnshire. The guy who made it was convinced that the world was going to beat a path to his door - he got quite upset when I offered my opinion. People often do. |

As for the early 3 piece spruce top guitars made from rotor blade stock, the consensus among those of us who own them is that we can't perceive a significant difference between them & a 2-piece top. The single most important factor in a guitar soundboard is it's strength to weight ratio, not how many pieces it's made from. That's why the Adamas top works so well, because it's very thin & light but also very stiff. Spruce that behaves like that is difficult to find & costs a fortune if you do. |
