Was the top wood Red spruce like the Loars? Or, did they start using Stika at that time?

I heard from different sources that Sitka had been used on some early Ferns. Though it's very hard to tell Sitka from Adirondack (red) spruce with the sunburst finish, I am almost positive that mine (a '26) is made of Adirondack, like a loar. But maybe Darryl or f5loar could chime in to confirm this.

I am pretty sure that I was told once that both sitka and red were used on the ferns. . .whatever was available at the time.
