Guitar Spruce
In Guitars,what is the difference between Spruce top and Solid Top+ which listed guitar should I get?
I know that Laminates are the cheaper quality less expensive guitars, but are solid tops and spruce tops the same?
Also heres a list of guitar (you can recommend some yourself). Which should i get for value for money, quality and intermediate player.( Not looking for over $399)
Cort MR100F (acoustice/electric)
Fender CD60CE (acoustic/electric)
Fender CD100( acoustic/electric)
Fender CD60
Epiphone AJ100CE( acoustic/electric)
Yamaha F310P
Thanks, and any recommendations are extremely appreciated.
sorry, so are spruce tops and solid tops the SAME?
No, a laminate top guitar can be of any material. I have three spruce laminate top nylon string guitars and bought a solid cedar top last January. The tone and sustain on the solid top is far superior to all my other guitars.
Those guitars listed are all of equal quality, but I have had pretty good luck with Fender.
Edit: I have those three spruce laminate top guitars, but have played a spruce solid top as well. No, spruce and laminate are not the same. Laminating a guitar top used to be a way to get an attractive grain on what would be considered a lower quality wood. Now they are sandwiching foam in between laminate layers to increase tone and sustain. Those are more expensive, though. Go with what sounds good and feels good to you. Don’t buy a guitar until you have played it first. Don’t worry so much about the construction. Laminates tend to be stronger and last longer anyway.
