Guth Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'm with Hoss on this one. I don't consider adirondack spruce to be the silver-bullet of the acoustic guitar world as many others do. I've played a number of adi topped guitars that just didn't cut it (and these were examples where clearly the "break-in" effect wasn't going salvage things). I've also played a number of unbelievable sounding guitars that were sitka-topped. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not anti-red spruce. Out of all of the guitars that I've played, I would say that percentage-wise a higher number of the adirondack topped examples have appealed to me than the sitka topped models. Regardless, as I so often end up claiming, I still think you need to play each guitar and judge it on its own merits. All the best, Guth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 each guitar .. on its own merits. A silver bullet? No. Distinctive? Id say so (scroll back). Would it work for you? That depends on your picking style, your attack, the music you choose to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I've seen Geremia play - that guy could probably play just about any box and make it sound great. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
