    Re: Kiss your ash goodbye

    I always loved the look of Ash, sad to see it go, even more under such a situation.
    But there are other beautiful woods, and maybe soon we will get to artificial so all these problems will be a thing of the past.
    Imagine choosing your tonewood AND look, crafted to industrial precision. Hmmmmmm

      Lab grown guitars that play what you are thinking.

          Doesn't sound that odd. I mean, isn't that exactly what Aristides is doing? Albeit not wood, it's Arium, a manmade material. But it does 'model' itself to 'wood'.

          What is Arium? Who are Aristides Guitars? Learn the story of our journey from scientific research to dedicated craftsmanship & beyond.

            I love these ideas. Just a handful of companies are exploring it, though.

              I didn't mean modeling, I meant lab grown "wood" or wood-like material.
              Which now I know, Aristides does that, nice!

                We have a world-wide patent and trademark for this material and its construction so I doubt anyone can do it as we do for the foreseeable future

                  It's not 'grown' perse, it's laminated in a mould, but made in a way to emulate wood. Only... better (more resonant, more stable, less prone to warping and so, so consistent!)

                    Well, I mean 'alternative materials' as a whole, not specifically Arium. I dig Flaxwood guitars, too.

                          Masonite is still a wood fiber based product. Aristides' Arium has 0% wood.

                            Is Carolina Ash good for guitar making?

                            I've got hundreds of them on my property -and every hurricane takes out a few.

                              As far as I know(usually wrong) that's more commonly called swamp ash.......and yeah it's good and still a pretty widely used wood, but this whole thread was news to me(ash being "phased" out)
