    As a guitar collector, I’ve heard more about CITES and mahogany (and rosewood, but nvm that now) than is healthy for a normal person. I absolutely believe that mass produced instruments should move to more sustainable materials, but the freaking attachment to Honduran Mahogany seems like it will never die.

      Guitar player attachment to (electric guitar) tonewood is my pet-peeve.

      Granted maybe my ear is just garbage, but even if there’s any discernible variance why don’t just change other virtually infinite things you could do in the chain. Just EQ alone will get you there most of the time, it’s easier.

      Alas we do tend to hear with our eyes, damn you marketing !
