Dana Bourgeois is probably the one who has taught and defines what “ tone tapping” is when it comes to building acoustic guitars.
The back and sides are from a giant 500 year old mahogany that is just known as “The Tree”. It has its own epic story but it’s known for this incredible 3’d figuring that most photographs don’t capture well. George Lucus is rumored to have paneled his office in this wood.
We bought this guitar as an investment-we’ll see.
We looked at Ryan’s and Petros as well. Your’s is spectacular.
There are some stunningly beautiful guitars coming out of the east (Japan and Thailand ) but they haven’t caught on yet.
