Ha! Might it not be seen as the 'bad old days' when this and past generations ravaged the Amazon and major forests which this wood will represent? We can only see it in the light of our present I have some of these woods in my guitar so I'm not moralising from a personal standpoint but of a possibly different common mindset in the future. Much like ivory is seen now, say, in the Western world. If I have another one made I shall ponder quite deeply on the subject of my choices from an ecological perspective. I quite like the look of some of the Padauk pieces i've seen and the positive, knowledgeable comments of some the luthiers here on the sonics makes it a distinct possibility for me.

Yes, we are lucky to be in the middle of this change and enjoy the choice.
