Gibson looks at Tone Woods on this months Lifestyle Blog
Dave Hunter from the Gibson Lifestyle Blog has an interesting article that should appeal to bluegrass flatpickers discussing the various tonewoods used in the construction of acoustic flat-top guitars online.
The Article covers the various woods used through out the construction of an acoustic guitar and provides some insight and reasoning behind why these species have become the de facto standards for solid wood guitar construction.
I have focused a lot of scrutiny in past installments of Gibson Tone Tips on the woods used to construct electric guitars, but this time out let’s shine the light on a breed of instrument where you can really hear the wood at work: the acoustic flat-top guitar. Wood type and body shape/style really are the determining factors in the voice of any flat-top, all of which coalesce successfully or otherwise according to the skill with which the construction has been rendered, with some significant influence from other factors such as the type and pattern of the top bracing.
