Red Spruce grading
Hey all.
I was wondering if any of you could help me understand what the correlation may be between the numbering Martin uses to grade their tops vs what a wood supplier grades it. For example, if Martin says a top is a grade 8 (their highest grade) would that correlate to an "Artist Grade +" such as it is described on this site? http://adirondackspruce.com/guitarwood2.htm I realize there may be no way to do a direct comparison, but wanted your thoughts/opinions. Thanks!

Hi Rob -
You might go over to the UMGF and search a bit, this may have been discussed. There are contributors over there in the wood section who really know this stuff. Clark
