These bundles are a great value way to get German Spruce bracing stock at around half the price of standard pieces. They timber is the same quality as our standard bracing stock, but the sizes are not uniform. The pieces are all of useful sizes for guitar bracing, a mix of long and middle size pieces will be included.
These first grade blanks are suitable for cutting all types or bracing. It is conventional to use German Spruce for the bracing of classical guitars with German Spruce or Western Red Cedar tops. German Spruce is often used for the bracing of steel string acoustic guitars with German Spruce tops but some makers prefer to use Sitka Spruce for the bracing as it is stiffer.
These blanks are also suitable for the bracing and blocks in a violin or mandolin.
