Adirondack red spruce top flamenco 
Would an Adirondack red spruce top make a supercharged flamenco guitar ?

Yes, it you stRapped a nitrous oxide tank to it and ran two Holly 4 barrel carburators and maybe throw in a glass pack muffler.

I'm an Impala man myself, the best Chevy body I think. If I cruised an Impala though Akune I'd be famous....well I'm already famous, with an Impala I would be like a Norse God.

Today I went octopus fishing off the jetty. No luck. Back to work. Fishing is slow right now, but I'll tell you last spring and summer I fished to keep food on the table and worked my ass off in the shop.

Red spruce? Shiet, spruce is spruce is spruce. All of it works if it is strong a light. The people who say Sitka and the spruces that Martin uses won't work for flamenco or classicals are just being snotty. The late and great Tom Humphrey said Sitka is too whispery and noisy to make a good guitar, well he was wrong because John Gilbert made plenty of fine sounding guitars with Sitka. Guitars which are still sought after by concert players.

Does any spruce super charge a guitar? Nah, the maker super charges it. Or just does a good job.
