This top was sliced around 10 years ago and was salvaged from naturally fallen trees during the 1960’s and 1970’s storms, in the margins and in the Kootenay River in British Columbia, Canada. These were very large and old trees; the exact age is hard to tell.
Sinker cedar is for tops as Brazilian rosewood is for back and sides. The density and stiffness are higher than regular cedar, so it is the sound. In the sinker tops one can find trebles at the European spruce level with all the excellent and natural cedar acoustic properties as smoothness and warmth. In the guitar these tops should go a bit thinner than the regular cedar. The taptone shows harmonic complexity, loud volume, glassy and one can feel sub-basses as well. The tops are naturally dried and ready to use straight away.
