Nice bit of "Tone" resin there

Stonewolf are using burls - very unstable pieces  of wood with few structural properties... But once set in acrylic they will be everything Theresa May claims.   

"Bloody impossible"?

not sure if the intention was to prod the bear or not, but i think the structural and tonal side of these is worthy of discussion.

Its an inconsistent natural material massively  enhanced by a consistent artificial one... tonally, it will be  much nicer than one made out of a similar piece of untreated burl

Haha Caught out Im not a believer in the mystical "tone"  part of tone wood (just take a look at the cardboard strat that well sounds like....a strat...but then again isn't cardboard wood....i jest !)

Ive worked with a few burl tops and they suck up CA/Hardener like a sponge,worth the effort to work with though as they do look very cool,Got to agreen on the raw plug strap pin...ugly

I won't reply to it to as to avoid turning this into a tonewood thread but could you provide a link to these cardboard Strat videos?

Bugger... somehow managed to start a tonewood and politics thread in 1.  The forum may implode

I recently got the fret marker dots on my bass filled in with this kind of material so I can see where the frets are on a dark stage

That is so fuckin cool.

The video has absolutely no relevance to the whole tonewood debate but it's very cool none the less.

We need to stop referring to it as a tonewood debate and start calling it “The materials affect on tone debate”.  

Not because of that vid, or the Stonewolf guitars... but because they always get used as evidence for the body material not affecting tone.
