Solo Music Gear Coupon: Materials For Instruments And Questions

We discussed the Cites laws for importing and exporting woods a few months ago, and how they applied directly to the production and export of guitars and basses.

Those restrictions, as you may recall, are intended to preserve specific timber species from overharvesting and extinction.
Isn't that a fantastic plan?
We must safeguard the environment and ensure that all of those wonderful woods, some of which have hundreds of years of musical instrument history, can be sustained.

But what do you use in place of those woods, and is it better or worse for the instrument's sound?

There are many videos on YouTube these days that claim that the material a guitar is composed of has no bearing on the sound it produces
of the musical instrument I've seen a lot of these, and they're always entertaining; with modern technology, you can pretty much make a cardboard box sound good.
How about an acrylic guitar (which has already been done) or an aluminum guitar (which has also been done)? Friends, there's a video of a guy who constructs a ridiculously heavy electric guitar with a cement body...and, yes, it sounds exactly like an electric guitar when he's finished!  Solo Music Gear Coupon Major whoop as far as I'm concerned, and a big surprise. Don't get me wrong: I admire the thinking and expertise that went into this, but you're not going to perform it live or even in a studio, so what was the point?

Is it truly only to construct it? Okay, I understand and it's fine.

Why do some of those magnificent vintage guitars have such high value if specific woods have no affect on the sound of the instrument, particularly in solid wood electrics?
Pre-CBS Fenders or late 1950s Gibsons aren't all that different from European guitars like Hofner or the slew of guitars that came out of Japan in the 1960s, but the value is vastly different.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are sometimes spent.
Kirk Hammet (Metallica) just paid just under $2 million for Peter Greene's (Fleetwood Mac) 59 Les Paul!
Aside from the celebrity element, the materials utilized to construct the instruments have worth.
So Is it true that if we can't utilize certain of those wood species anymore, we'll never be able to create instruments of the same quality as before?

No, Until we stop making instruments, we will continue to enhance our technique, design, and materials.  Solo Music Gear Coupons have yet to create the "ideal" guitar or "perfect" bass, in my opinion. People laughed when Ibanez began importing guitars with basswood bodies a few years ago, claiming that basswood isn't a tonewood. Ibanez, on the other hand, was ahead of the game.

 
Basswood is light and stable, so it not only ships for less money (because of the weight), but it also holds up and lasts. Plus, because basswood is a fast-growing wood, it is a renewable resource!
Electronics compensate for the lack of 'tonewood' quality.

 You inform Steve Vai that his tone is terrible. It's the same with other instruments. Electrics with a solid body Electric basses, on the other hand, are less affected, and builders have long experimented with them with considerable success. Because of cost, beauty, and availability, acoustic guitar makers are using more novel materials than ever before.

So, how does all of this affect you personally?
When you go  Solo Music Gear Coupon guitar shopping, it's natural to wonder about the guitar's construction, sound, and appearance.

 
But what about you, the purchaser of the Solo Music Gear Coupon?
Basswood, mahogany, maple, spalted maple, flamed maple, and other woods are available in Solo kits.

You aren't paying those costs because your guitar kit isn't made of Honduran Mahogany and Brazilian Rosewood with a huge leaf Maple cap like the vintage Les Pauls.
However, you are creating the  Solo Music Gear Coupon guitar for yourself, and I'm guessing you will be playing it as well.

 
What could be more satisfying than being able to put a project to use once it's completed?
