    As a guitar collector, I’ve heard more about CITES and mahogany (and rosewood, but nvm that now) than is healthy for a normal person. I absolutely believe that mass produced instruments should move to more sustainable materials, but the freaking attachment to Honduran Mahogany seems like it will never die.

      Guitar player attachment to (electric guitar) tonewood is my pet-peeve.
