What makes Adirondack spruce so special?

Adirondack spruce, also known as red spruce, is a highly prized tonewood sourced from the Appalachian Mountains in the northeastern United States, particularly in the Adirondack region of New York. Adirondack spruce delivers powerful volume and excellent dynamic range, making it ideal for flatpicking and aggressive strumming.

Its high headroom allows it to handle strong attack without distortion, while still responding well to subtle playing. Originally used on pre-war Martins and other vintage guitars, simply because it was readily available in abundance at the time, Adirondack spruce is today a natural premium top choice for high-end acoustic guitars and admired for responsiveness, projection and tone.
