Pacific Rim Tonewoods

At the core of Pacific Rim Tonewoods’ expertise is its unwavering focus on acoustic guitar soundboards, which are regarded as the most crucial element in shaping an instrument’s voice. Unlike other suppliers who treat tonewood as a commodity, Pacific Rim treats each cut, each grain, and each resonance with reverence. Whether you’re building a dreadnought, a parlor guitar, or a hybrid cutaway, the soundboard sets the tonal signature of the instrument.

Their collection is not just broad in range—it is deep. It includes premium selections such as Sitka spruce soundboards, Lutz guitar soundboards, and rare, visually arresting options like redwood mottled guitar soundboards. Each piece undergoes rigorous inspection for consistency, aesthetics, tap tone, and most importantly, resonance—a philosophy that has made PRT the go-to for custom shops and boutique builders alike.

Pacific Rim Tonewoods is especially famous for its Sitka spruce soundboards, widely recognized in the industry for their brilliance, stability, and acoustic warmth. The Sitka spruce used by PRT is harvested under sustainable practices in remote, high-altitude environments where the slow-growing trees develop tight grain patterns that directly translate to superb tonal characteristics.

These soundboards produce strong fundamentals with harmonic overtones that are favored in virtually every acoustic guitar design from the 20th century onward. Whether you are handcrafting a fingerstyle masterpiece or a road-worthy strummer, Sitka spruce from Pacific Rim offers the consistency and clarity that guitarists love and luthiers trust.
