  • If we did not know (or dont care) which is spruse or cedar then most people mught say spruse sounds better.

  • Both is magical. Yet, I like spruce more. Had Cedar, sold it, as something was always missing.

  • Could someone please tell me the name of this song? I am new to classical music and this piece is so amazing. Thank you.

  • Cedar is warm and sweet….Spruce is clear and concise. Show a big difference to a train ear…i got both guitars and they both sound great depending on the song

  • I'd love to hear a comparison between old spruce vs new, I know it's a difficult request, to find very similar model made at different times.

  • Its like comparing maple telecaster to mahagony les paul. Both lovely in their own way.

  • I would say the spruce is clearer, with better note separation, while the cedar is a warmer, with more depth.
    I personally am drawn to the spruce because it states each note a little more clearly, and has a liveliness makes me feel like the whole tune is coming through really well.
    The cedar, to me, allows the notes to sort of flow into each other, causing a little bit of a slight “muddy” feel. It’s only slight though, and it does have a warming effect.
    However, I wouldn’t rank one higher than the other, because it really boils down to personal tone and playing style preferences.
    For instance, the spruce would probably allow for playing a bit faster tunes without jumbling notes together, while the cedar would make slower tunes flow a little nicer.
    These is only my opinions though.

  • Очень мне нравится звучание ели. Ель звучит солнечно прозрачно, и представляешь себе солнечный день, чистый хрустальный звук. Кедр это звучание как будто бы в туманное раннее утро, приглушённо, тише… Это на вкус каждого. Мне нравится солнечное хрустальное утро и это ель. ????

  • For me the less ‘muddier’ therefore SPRUCE for my personal preference. That said and done some tunes I may opt for the CEDAR. Lovely playing!

  • I believe if you try to play with the right hand as warm as possible on a spruce you can have both the brightness and the warm sound. What do you thing? For example, for the low strings on a spruce I always make apoyando thumb when possible. Warmer and more round sound.

  • Cedar is so soft. Even with careful playing it gets marked. Some people like that kind of thing. Not me.

  • I love my spruce top Hanika guitar, but cedar top guitars are much more beautiful in terms of the sound and the looks.
    I will definitely get myself a cedar top one day.

  • La cosa più bella tra i due timbri è che sono tutti e due meravigliosi, offrono una tavolozza ricca di colori e di sfumature poetiche

  • Spruce is a touch too bright, almost like a well miked guitar to a point it almost sounds like an electric nylon strings, nonetheless very beautiful sound. Cedar is just a true classic tone.
