but will it Bethesda?
hey everyone i know that this has probably been asked a lot of times before hand.
My question is why is most of today's guitars made from bass wood and maple, (which in my industry is considered a soft wood) and the better woods like ebony and mahogany but no one makes them out of oak or honey locust? Are the woods tone bad or something? i feel that we have a wide variety of great woods at our disposal and we still choose to get forin woods.
i am an arbourist and have the ability to take home any wood i deem fit, not to mention access to a lumber mill. I want to try and start creating my own guitars in time but i dont want to buy wood from a company and have my money sent over seas. id like to keep it in the US, and Canada which is where I'm located.
i like the idea of having a story for every guitar i want to build weather it was a storm that blew the tree down on a house or it was dangerous to the public. i dont want to buy a guitar and know that it was cut down because someone needed a guitar. get what i'm saying?
you're instrument helps tell you're story why not make something that has a story on its own
