Did they really kill a 3000 year old tree just for guitar wood or was there something wrong with it? Maybe I'm more naive than i thought about people's feelings

Did they really kill a 3000 year old tree just for guitar wood or was there something wrong with it? Maybe I'm more naive than i thought about people's feelings towards rainforest deforestation but I don't know how anyone could show their face playing such a guitar in public.
- gigaflop 5y agoThe tree was killed by loggers looking for money before guitars entered the picture. It had been laying in the dirt for a while before the guitar types got their hands on it.
- UncleEntity 5y agoThere’s this luthier I watch on the YouTubes who bought a whole old-growth mahogany bedroom set with the intention of turning it into guitars. You can’t import any “new” old-growth wood so they have to repurpose existing wood if that’s what they want to use. Same with The Tree, they are hunting down anything built out of it to make new guitars.
