About Burr Ash Guitar Tops

Our Burr Ash Guitar Tops are carefully selected from highly figured Ash burl and burr growth, offering exceptional natural character for premium guitar-making applications.
Burr Ash is known for its dramatic grain structure, featuring swirls, eyes, curls, knots, burl clusters, mineral streaks, and irregular figure. These natural characteristics create a highly three-dimensional appearance that can become a spectacular centerpiece when used as a guitar top.
The coloration can range from cream and pale white to golden-brown, tan, gray, and light brown, often with contrasting darker lines and natural figure. Under a clear or transparent finish, the complex grain can become even more visually striking.
Our Burr Ash guitar tops are selected for figure, grain character, color, stability, moisture content, and overall presentation. They are suitable for custom electric guitars, bass guitars, boutique instruments, and decorative luthier projects.
