    Default Top Wood om Flatiron F5 Artists?

    Howdy-

    I'm going to have the chance to try a Flatiron F5 Artist in a few weeks. Did they use Sitka, Red, Engelmann or other on their tops? Did it vary between Bozeman and Nashville?

    Thanks in advance.

    Sitka was standard on all Flatirons, AFAIK.
    When 'good enough' is more than adequate.

    The Bozeman folks hated Engelmann, even though they were living right in the middle of it's range...
