@mattbeels for the most part (and I'll admit to limited exposure to it), it doesn't do it for me. But there's no denying that there are some monster players and some monster guitars associated with th...

when I see some of those 8+ string monstrosities the djent types like, often with no fretmarkers, I wonder how the hell they find their way around, I'd need GPS! @jonhodgson I’m not a big djent fan (...

@jonhodgson Thanks Jonathan. It appears that Spain is the centre of the universe when it comes to tonewoods. In my searching I also found out about Maderas Barber from Valencia who I think may have so...

@russ @darrenking Taylor's partner in the Cameroon sawmill project is Madinter, who you can buy from. I just recently found out about this because of an interview with Ben Crowe on sustainability, app...

@darrenking. I've just finished reading it over Darren. Sounds like a good plan for sustainability. As with all these things, everyone involved has to feel they are benefiting or there will always be...

yeah but it’d look awesome until manhandled though 🙂 @tej It would look stunning, I must admit. It would be torture knowing I couldn’t play it though.

I think the hundreds of thousands you have to pay to get a license to use Vanta Black (not to mention that it has some very special application method) probably makes how hard wearing it is rather moo...

I know you’re going to paint it @boo but I was thinking that the mismatch of the grain on the headstock would seep through... but I guess that you know what you’re doing, right? 🤷🏼...

Coming along nicely there @boo. 👍 🙏🎶🎸🙂

Are you gonna use a headplate? @mattbeels What, like a cap, a veneer? Do you think I should? I was thinking of just painting it.

Great video @steveadams Glad to see you're having fun even at a stressful bit of making an acoustic.

Here's the link to the report. @darrenking. Thanks for that Darren. We do need to find ways to make things sustainable in everything we do. I'll have a good read of it later. Got to get the balance r...

Here's the link to the report.

I'm not quite sure that they are any more ecologically sound...... Richlite, at least, is FSC certified. I'm not aware of there being much FSC ebony available anywhere and reading the report of Taylo...

@darrenking. Thanks Darren. I do like the idea of being able to create funky coloured or funky patterned fretboard. 🎶🙂🎸🙏
