*** Martin Spruce Availability Update ***
Due to constraints surrounding the procurement of old-growth Sitka spruce, Martin Guitar will allow the use of Lutz spruce in combination with Sitka spruce as needed.
Martin will be utilising both Sitka and Lutz spruce throughout their line of instruments. This will allow Martin to continue to provide the best quality spruce tops while meeting the significant demand for our products.
Lutz spruce is a naturally occurring hybrid of Sitka spruce and white spruce and grows in the same geographical areas as Sitka spruce. Lutz also has similar tonal and visual characteristics compared to Sitka spruce.
Models affected: All models that currently utilise Sitka spruce.
