Already "broken in" for stability and tone. Torrefied spruce is dimensionally stable (non-shrinking), with the clear tone and warm color of well-aged vintage tonewood. Supplied as bookmatched sets of two quartersawn halves. When joined they're large enough for a Dreadnought guitar. Each AAA-grade half is approximately 8-1/2" x 21" (216mm x 533mm) Approximately 5/32” (4mm) thick, ready for thickness-sanding to your own specs About torrefied wood It takes years for a new guitar to break in, to develop its tone and realize its full potential. As tonewood ages, its cell structure goes through changes, becoming much more resonant and responsive. After a few years, you get the payoff: you begin to hear the sound of a vintage guitar. With the introduction of torrefied woods, professional builders are giving their guitars a head start on tone. The wood is heat-treated in an oxygen-free kiln, making it highly resonant and extremely stable. It's as if the wood is pre-aged. It looks and sounds like wood that's been broken in for many years.Torrefied spruce is dimensionally stable (non-shrinking), with the clear tone and warm color of well-aged vintage tonewoodTorrefied wood is heat-treated in an oxygen-free kiln, making it highly resonant and extremely stableThe result of this treatment is wood that looks and sounds like it's been broken in for many years.Supplied as bookmatched sets of two quartersawn halves that are, when joined, large enough for a Dreadnought guitarEach quartersawn half measures approximately 8-1/2" x 21" (216mm x 533mm), and is approximately 5/32” (4mm) thick, ready for thickness-sanding to your own specs
