Chantry Guitars typically use a variety of high-quality tonewoods to enhance sound and playability. Commonly used woods include spruce or cedar for the tops, which provide brightness and resonance, while mahogany or rosewood is often used for the back and sides to add warmth and depth to the tone. Each wood choice contributes to the guitar's overall sound profile and aesthetic appeal.

Guitars (acoustic and electric) are made of wood because of the resonance that wood produces when a string is played. Sound travels differently through different materials, and sound can be altered after traveling through different materials. Certain woods are known to produce better sounds than others, which is why guitars are made of certain kinds of wood - spruce, maple, etc.
Spruce wood is the wood of the spruce tree of which there are a number of varieties, most of which come from North America. Spruce, pine and fir are all members of the pine family and are similar in that they are soft woods of coniferous (evergreen) trees. All are used in framing lumber for house construction; the lumber is often stamped SPF to indicate that it is non-specific spruce, pine or fir.
