Yeah, 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...

This is also the case with guitars and other musical instruments (pianos, violins etc.). Old growth not only sounds better, it lasts longer and looks better. Salvaged redwood is one particular place that this really stands out. There is no
