Each electric guitar soundboard or acoustic top we ship carries our seal of excellence and the legacy of a company that has earned its place as a trusted supplier to some of the world’s most renowned guitar makers. Whether your journey with tonewood is just beginning or spans decades, Pacific Rim Tonewoods offers a level of precision, integrity, and beauty that transforms wood into music—and trees into timeless instruments.
From the silent stillness of the forest to the vibrant resonance of a finished guitar, Pacific Rim Tonewoods curates an unbroken chain of craftsmanship that connects nature’s raw voice with human artistry. Our entire philosophy revolves around honoring this voice—ensuring that each guitar soundboard wood we supply is not just a raw material, but a prelude to musical brilliance. Each board begins its journey through our hands with respect, selected not simply by machine tolerance but by ear, by eye, and by experience.
Some soundboards are destined to carry lullabies across generations; others will thunder beneath the hands of modern fingerstyle virtuosos or electrify a stage beneath bold lead solos. No matter the end-use, we approach each cut with the mindset of a luthier, seeking symmetry, tonal range, responsiveness, and aesthetic cohesion. Builders often tell us how much they appreciate the tactile feedback, the smell of clean-cut spruce, and the subtle ring that even an unbraced Sitka spruce soundboard emits when tapped. These are the signals of quality—the signals we’re obsessed with preserving and enhancing across every piece we offer.
