Ebony on the back and sides of a guitar - THAT I DO want to see the grains and striping. Absolutely.

Saw a Nationwide Insurance commercial last evening with a female guitarist featured. She was playing a Taylor with a significant light streak on the fret board. Some of you may know who she is.

i just looked in stew mac and there is only a few
dollars difference between ebony and richlite. Bob taylor has the right idea. its really not luthier's that are causing issues with these woods as it is furniture makers in china. Bob taylor is making these issues known to the public. So kudos to bob Taylor. And i will display my striped ebony fretboard with pride. Last edited by Kerbie; 01-07-2018 at 07:35 PM.

However, let's keep this thread on ebony and wood only. I've always said kudos to Bob Taylor - especially efforts to grow more ebony and not let any of it go to waste. I think a lot of woods go onto the endangered list and they are banned only - there is no active effort to grow more, which is the most responsible action (not banning - thus creating an instant price increase to what if left). I think we have established that using striped ebony is nothing new and that manufacturers have been dying it for the last 100 years or more. Keeping it striped and having it look awful or distracting is not a good thing I'm my opinion. Last edited by Kerbie; 01-07-2018 at 07:37 PM. Reason: Edited quote |

You brought up Richlite twice in your original post. If this topic is just about what you personally want to relate why didn't you just say "No further comment necessary." at the end of your original post? Sorry for any of my attempts to possibly broaden the discussion. |

Respectfully, I think that puts Americans at the forefront in making the biggest difference. And, we may not WANT to be the first as laws for use of woods may become overly restrictive for those at the top of the list. Just my 2 cents. And then getting back to Ebony here, what nationality is taking the bull by the horn and helping create more Ebony - Bob Taylor - an American |

A minute ago you were lauding the US for being environmental leaders and now you're saying you don't want laws that might actually make your over generous assessment a reality.
