CITES
Can someone explain what CITES is and its impact on the guitar world? I’m having a custom build done in Canada (I’m in the U.S) and my builder said that some wood may not be a possibility due to CITES restrictions... any info would be helpful!

That link is a little out of date, all species of dalbergia (except dalbergia nigra, which is Appendix I) have been added to Appendix II.
That means rosewood guitars need paperwork to be shipped across international borders. According to Chuck Erikson, aka the Duke of Pearl, white abalone has never been used in guitar inlay.

Or you can consider a trip to Canada, get to hang out with the builder and then and carry the guitar back home.
