The Australian Guitar set/kits

Post by TimS » Thu Nov 01, 2007 9:39 am

I noticed Hesh's suggestion and would be happy to offer several set/kit types that encompass the current range of Australian tonewoods I have or can get.

Stay tuned!

regards

For the benefit of our American and Canadian brothers please note that the word "cool" is pronouced Keeewel" here in Oz.

So there we have it, the porn industry had Mister John Holmes and the Tonewood Industry has a star of equal stature....Timothy "Mister Cool" Spittle"

Tim,

Kim informed us (on another luthier forum), that some Aussie scientist has proven that the genetics of all songbirds lead back to an Aussie ancestry.

As those ancient Aussie birds took flight over water, perhaps their last meal included seeds from some Aussie trees, deposited with a nice blob of fertilizer when they finally reached land...

(Are you with me thus far on my tall tale?)

Those ancient trees may have cross pollinated with species endemic to their land masses, then evolved and cross pollinated some more as they spread across those distant land masses.

I note the current scarcity of Aussie species for soundboards. So, when you put together your guitar kits with "mostly" Aussie wood, maybe it's possible that the Canadian Picea lutzii or US Picea glauca had its origins in Oz? Or, at least the birds from Oz must have eventually helped spread Spruces across North America.
