Yes but if martin had made their 1937 guitar
out of bubinga instead of brazilian. If no one
had ever thought of useing rosewood for b&s
we would all now be lusting after bubinga.
Furniture aside ( which is really why its endangered)
Bubinga would be on the cites list. And folks
would be saying that this new BRW is nice but its no Bubinga.
We hold BRW as The mother of all tonewoods. Honestly
Its a sound we've all subjectivly agreed on. Again That
Subjective sound could have just as easily been
Bubinga. Grails arent made they are socially agreed upon.
That this is the sound by which everything else is compared to.
Again I compare it to diamonds. Deberes created the mkt for diamonds.
The status quo ( a myth created by deberes) says this is what you give 25% of your salary
to make your girl happy. They aren't rare not even particular
pretty compared to an opal,emerald, ruby. Society says a diamond
it is.
