LUTHERIE AMATEUR

Daaaaamn !!! that's so cheap !

Although I have to say it's a shame to cut all these rare trees in the amazonian forest and we shouldn't be proud to buy this kind of wood even for low prices.

we should absolutely save the Amazonian forest !

Marcelo> 1600$ is an honnest price for this kind of guitar imo.

It' interesting to see that the cost of things in your country is totaly different than for France (internet is more expansive, rent of house is a lot less expansive, tools for lutherie seems to be more expansive...)

au fait caribou, oui a l'époque ou j'ai acheté cette touche je réalisais pas vraiment que c'était une espèce aussi rare, je trouvais ça juste super beau... maintenant que j'y pense j'ai un peu honte mais ce qui est fait est fait. je recommencerais plus. promis. (bon au moins j'aurais une belle touche)

Bof, je te reproche rien hein, j'ai moi même quelques trèès jolies touches en amourette, ainsi que 5 jeux fond/éclisses en palissandre de Rio (achetés avant 92). La question de la protection des essences rares est complexe et ne peut pas se limiter qu' à un boycott ou une interdiction, en tous cas pour certaines d'entre elles.
