My favourite Beatles track is "Norwegian wood" - thankfully hasn't been (over)played to death.
I can't say that I've heard a version of it that I prefer...
I really don't like dings in my gear but once I have them I don't fret (sorry...no pun intended) about it. I just hate putting the dings in, in the first place.
Does the water content mean that the Swamp Ash grows more in the same period leading to it being less dense? I would have thought that the "wetter" wood would be heavier.
Interesting....I'm very happy with my Skyline 55-01 despite people advising the need to change the pick ups and pre-amp - both of which the previous owner had upgraded.
How is the USA "better" than the Indonesian?
