Hey guys, check these pictures of an identical guitar with different lighting.
Does the top look like adirondack or sitka?

while the wide grain appears Adi , the color is wrong. Also with the back cross grain support missing , your top is a lower grade Sitka. Also just because the grain is wider , the wider grained top is often stiffer . Still it is a nice Martin . Not a bad guitar

I've read red spruce typically doesn't have much silking. Your top has enough silking I would expect it's not red spruce.
