Guitars made with soaked logs that have been in the great lakes for the last 100 years sound especially well because the cells get hollowed out. https://www.yo

- DudeOpotomus 3y agoYeah, Sunken wood. Mostly used on electrics. Personally I cannot hear any difference in these guitars. But people seem to like them. Probably for the look...
- brandall10 3y agoThey're used in electrics? I've only heard about them in acoustics, ie. 'sinker' mahogany.
- MSFT_Edging 3y agoTonewood for electrics is mostly a myth anyway. Extremes might play a role but 99% of the time its almost entirely down to the pickups and picking hand. Acoustic guitars are a totally different ball game of course.

- nemo44x 3y agoYeah I had a Martin Guitar made from "Sinker Mahogany" harvested from a river in Belize. Amazing to think that these were so plentiful that the British just let the ones that didn't make it sink to the bottom of the water. Literally hundreds if not thousands of them. It's absolutely beautiful wood for a guitar though, especially if paired with red pine for the top.
