So no need for a separate forum, and a very cool evolution for guitar construction.

"Impregnated"?? Can we talk about that kind of stuff on this forum? When a Mommy guitar and a Daddy guitar really love each other, there is a "special hug" they... nevermind.

I REALLY like the old band/concert t-shirt idea. Plenty of impregnating back in those days... but, I am digressing. Again.

Yeah, I know: back in my corner.

I am just outraged that such language and discussion can take place on this forum!! Where is a monitor when you need one?

Just in case there was any confusion, I was using definition #2.

im·preg·nate
imˈpreɡˌnāt/
verb
1.
make (a woman or female animal) pregnant.
synonyms: make/get pregnant, inseminate, fertilize; More
2.
soak or saturate (something) with a substance.
"wood that had been impregnated with preservative"
synonyms: infuse, soak, steep, saturate, drench; More

Yea, but we are not so sure about which definition Jim was using.

Well at least now we know where ukuleles come from....

Gee, in view of these new definitions.....just what do they mean when they say "pre-preg" during the construction? Is that even legal?

[Fixedgear60]

Just jumping in here... lets remember that Joe also uses CF to reinforce key areas of his ekoa instruments... :-).

I notice that there is some overlap in the two definitions.

Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be Taylors....

Note: I chose "Taylor" because I have a 1925 Martin 2K ukulele. If it ever grows up, it would still be a Martin.
