Quilted Ash top

Ash is harder and stiffer than mahogany, a type of maple with an open grain. Its pore structure is similar to that of oak. The sound is focused, with a powerful fundamental and pure tones that contain virtually no overtones.

Maple sides and back

Maple is known for giving an instrument a bright tone, good balance, and projection, with excellent note separation and tight bass (a guitar with good separation lets each note of a chord sound distinctly, rather than thick or clustered). It requires less care than many other woods due to temperature and humidity fluctuations.

Bone saddles

Bone saddles and/or nut are much denser and therefore retain better tonal qualities. A bone saddle or nut produces a brighter sound with more resonance and a better attack. A bone saddle and/or nut truly brings a guitar to life.

Solid spruce top

Spruce is one of the most traditional woods used to make guitar tops. This is due to its stiffness and ideal strength-to-weight ratio. These characteristics give spruce a very dynamic sensitivity and a rich tone with many harmonic overtones. This makes it excellent for both powerful strumming and delicate fingerpicking.

Mahogany sides and back

Mahogany has long been a highly sought-after wood for the back and sides of acoustic guitars. Its warm, rounded bass tone provides a foundation for any musical style to reach the listener. The midrange is very strong and full-bodied, while the treble is delicate and very pleasant.

Solid Western Red Cedar top

Cedar is less dense than spruce, and that softness generally translates into a sense of sonic warmth. Sitka has a full dynamic range, while cedar makes softer tones louder, but also imposes a limit on high volume levels due to an aggressive pick. If you play a cedar top hard, it will eventually reach a limit. Players with a lighter touch generally sound beautiful on a cedar-top guitar, especially fingerstyle players. This lighter touch is amplified slightly more, and the pick never reaches the limit.

Mahogany sides and back

Mahogany has long been a highly sought-after wood for the back and sides of acoustic guitars. Its warm, rounded bass tone provides a foundation for any musical style to reach the listener. The midrange is very strong and full-bodied, while the treble is delicate and very pleasant.

Solid Cedar Top

Cedar is the most commonly used wood for making a guitar top after Spruce. Cedar has a much lower density and is therefore much softer than Spruce. This translates into a warmer, fuller sound. Cedar also makes softer sounds come across stronger and thus improves the dynamics of soft playing. A guitar with a cedar top is extremely suitable for guitarists who like to fingerpick. This makes cedar a good match for smaller body shapes such as the Auditorium, Orchestra Model, or Parlor.

Rosewood Sides and Back

Rosewood is a beautiful wood with a deep color that is highly sought after by guitar builders to make the best guitars. Rosewood has a warm, highly resonant sound and provides more than enough volume on its own. It is one of the hardest woods used for the body of a guitar, but the porous structure of the wood ensures that it generally produces a warmer sound than many softer woods.

The R5SM by Rathbone, also known as the No.5, is built with the classic combination of woods: a solid Sitka spruce top with mahogany back and sides. The top features a so-called 'double top' construction, made of two outer layers of solid Sitka spruce with a layer of woven carbon fibre in between. This makes the top stiffer while also making it more flexible, which gives the guitar more resonance and responsiveness when playing.

'Double top'

The top of the No.5 by Rathbone is constructed as a double top. This means that the top of this guitar consists of three layers: the two outermost layers are made of solid Sitka spruce with a layer of woven carbon fibre in between. This results in a top that is simultaneously stiffer and more flexible, making it easier to set in motion and allowing it to resonate more freely. This benefits both the playability and the sound of the guitar.

Solid spruce top

Spruce is one of the most traditional woods used to make guitar tops. This is thanks to its tight grain pattern, which offers high stiffness and an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Thanks to these characteristics, spruce provides a very wide dynamic range, offering the right sensitivity for subtle fingerpicking to the power needed for more powerful strumming. Whatever dynamics you are looking for, a top made of spruce provides a rich sound with plenty of harmonics. Furthermore, a top made of spruce works very well with almost all the woods used for the back and sides of a guitar. At the bottom of the description, you will find a short summary of the tonal characteristics of spruce combined with the most commonly used woods.

Using a solid piece of wood to make a guitar top has many advantages. Most of the advantages are for the sound, but a solid piece of wood also offers advantages in other areas compared to a piece of laminated wood. Compared to laminate, solid wood has a fuller, richer sound regardless of what kind of wood it is made from. It also gives a more powerful sound with more volume and longer sustain (how long a note rings out). In addition to these direct benefits in sound quality, using solid wood to make a guitar top has another major advantage for sound quality: a guitar made with solid pieces of wood only gets better and sounds better as it is played and ages. Besides the benefits in sound quality, solid wood has a few more advantages. For one, a guitar made of solid wood generally looks more beautiful and makes every guitar unique, as no two pieces of wood are the same. More importantly, solid wood is easier to repair should a problem ever occur. The wood fibers in solid wood are easier to glue than the fibers in laminated wood, which generally leads to a better end result.

Mahogany back and sides

Mahogany has long been a very popular wood for the back and sides of acoustic guitars. With its warm, round bass sound, it provides a foundation for any musical style to reach the listener. The midrange is very strong and sounds full, while the highs sound delicate and very pleasant.

Bone nuts

Bone bridge nuts and/or nut combs have a much higher density and therefore retain better tonal properties. This means that a nut or comb made of bone provides a brighter sound with more resonance and a better attack. A bone bridge nut and/or nut comb really brings a guitar to life.

A perfect all-rounder, the No.3 has the same measurements as the Orchestra Model, but the body dimensions are closer to those of a dreadnought model. The larger body naturally produces a stronger bass sound without sacrificing clarity, which is the strength of a Grand Auditorium. However, the larger body does not mean that this guitar is less easy to play; quite the opposite is true. The narrow waist ensures that the guitar rests comfortably on the knee or hangs easily around the shoulders.

Solid Cedar Top

Cedar is the most commonly used wood for making a guitar top after spruce. Cedar has a much lower density and is therefore much softer than spruce. This translates into a warmer, fuller sound. Cedar also makes softer sounds come across stronger and thus improves the dynamics of soft playing. A guitar with a cedar top is extremely suitable for guitarists who like to fingerpick. This makes cedar a good match for smaller body shapes such as the Auditorium, Orchestra Model, or Parlor.

Ebony Sides and Back

Dark, hard, and very dense. Often used for making fretboards and bridges, but it can also make a very beautiful guitar. With its dense grain, ebony provides a powerful bass, rich mids, and high tones that ring out like no other with a lot of sustain and projection. The appearance can vary from solid black to heavily mottled dark brown with caramel-colored streaks.

Bone Saddles

Bridge saddles and/or bone nut combs have a much higher density and therefore retain better tonal properties. Thus, a saddle or comb made of bone provides a brighter sound with more resonance and a better attack. A bridge saddle and/or nut comb made of bone really brings a guitar to life.
