GUITARS WITH SOLID TOP: WHY ARE THE BEST CHOICE

It is well known that wood is not the only suitable material for the construction of guitars. For centuries tests are being made with materials such as ivory, and since the last century have been tested as methacrylate or other carbon, with satisfactory results. However, wood is still the most common material used in the construction of guitars ... for now.

Within the constructive scheme of the guitar, the cover occupies the leading role in the production of sound, which can be around 80%. In fact, the cover is the only part of the guitar that includes in its structure elements that affect the sound, such as harmonic bars. This important part of the guitar is built, therefore, taking into account the selected timber as well as the measures and the provision of domestic barrage.

Understanding the crucial role of the cap on the production of sound, we can understand that a laminated cover (composed of a series of thin sheets of wood glued together) can never have the benefits of a solid cover. Now, how do you differentiate a solid cover of a laminated? You can have a look at this that I included in an article about guitars Yamaha photo red label.

In the above picture shows a laminated cover. It is distinguished because it has three layers. In a mazica cap, however, the edge of a wood distinguishes itself, is the grain atravensando entire width, and pattern of your drawing can be followed by comparing the outside with the inside of the lid.

My recommendation is to always buy a guitar that has at least the solid cover. The sides and back have no influence in the production of sound, so an instrument with rolling hoops and background can work well. But the solid top is a necessary condition for an acceptable instrument.

Eye lid descriptions included in the characteristics of guitar manufacturers. When you read these features in English, be sure that the term "solid" is indicated by the type of wood of the lid. Thus, "solid Sitka" means "solid Sitka spruce" but "Sitka" usually means laminated Sitka spruce.
