LOL That would be awesome, but sadly that isn't the case here. There isn't any more being exported at all so no one is benefiting from this one. Incidentally it wasn't the musical instrument industry that wiped out the Brazilian Rosewood, guitars just consumed a small amount of the overall harvest of the wood. The furniture industry is what wiped out the supply.
