That edging on the front page looks killer. I love it.

"Seasoned European and North American tonewoods are used. These can be artificially aged to give the appearance of being old. While mellowing the wood’s tone, this gives it a sweeter sound with less play-in time, making it more stable and less of a shock to the instrument."

Looks great but ... what's that all about???

How can making wood LOOK old be more stable and give it a sweeter sound?

Zach's a great guy and a talented luthier. Too bad I had to fire him for excessive facial hair...
