When it comes to DB tops what are the wood choices?

[Ruben E garcia]

Thank everyone for welcome me and for your responses, I do have some knowledge about wood, I know what to look for, but I like to see what I’m buying… there are not two identical wood pieces, now this is going to be my first Acoustic build and a “DB” is an huge undertaking.. I don’t want to be too worried about messing up an $500-$700+ wood piece for the top only… that’s for me is very scary…I may start by building an Acoustic Guitar/bass first and read a some books, before jumping in J
On www.alaskatonewood.com I found the most reasonable price for an DB top: spruce around $200, that’s is not bad I guess…another thing is that I’m living now Atlanta but I came from Miami and I knew a couple places to go and see tons of all kinds of wood… I haven’t found yet any place like that here…

PS ken I'm a big fan of yours
