Over at the UMGF, Engelmann has been well recieved on the many Limited Signature Models that have been issued with this top wood. Headroom and clear trebles have never been lacking, that is in my opinion and the opinions of the many others who have experienced these guitars. Bottom line, know your source and quality of the wood you are considering when choosing Engelmann.

I have not encountered Englemann Spruce that has Red Spruce stiffness. They are very much apples and oranges. Englemann brings responsiveness to the tone and sacrifice a bit of headroom. Red spruce tends to have both the responsiveness and the headroom.
