Unsustainable farming practices along with the impact of the EAB have caused Ash, especially guitar-quality Swamp Ash, to become increasingly more rare as the years go on.\u00a0<\/p><p>Finally, the trend among guitarists for at LEAST the past decade has been to demand lighter weight Swamp Ash guitars. Once a select few boutique builders showed the world that all of the beloved classic body shapes could be built using Swamp Ash that is considerably lighter than what was historically used, suddenly players became accustomed to extraordinarily lightweight Swamp Ash and a new benchmark was set. Obviously, not every Ash tree harvested can yield &#8220;ultra-lightweight&#8221; wood, in fact, only a very tiny percentage can, so this new appetite for super lightweight Swamp Ash created even more of a strain on the Ash supply.<\/p><p>As you might have noticed, many of our competitors and other guitar builders have stopped carrying Swamp Ash altogether. Alternatively, the companies that still carry Ash are oftentimes using heavier furniture-grade Ash, hard &#8220;baseball bat&#8221; Ash or Ash that does not have the striking &#8220;cathedral&#8221; grain lines that guitar players have come to expect&#8230;while still charging premium Swamp Ash prices.<\/p><p><strong>NOT TO WORRY THOUGH<\/strong>, we still have\u00a0<strong>plenty<\/strong>\u00a0of beautiful, lightweight master-grade Swamp Ash. We can say with a large amount of certainty that we will be one of the last (if not\u00a0<strong>THE<\/strong>\u00a0last) guitar\/parts company out there supplying high quality Swamp Ash.\u00a0<\/p><p>However, due to the rising cost of raw lumber and the ever-increasing demand for this premium tonewood, we are raising our prices on Swamp Ash across the board.\u00a0<\/p><p>Trust us, we don&#8217;t like this any more than you do. This is the only way we can continue to ensure that we will have Swamp Ash for a good few more years into the future. This price increase is not going into our pockets, but rather straight to the lumber mill. We stand by our supplies of wood, and welcome you to compare the quality of our Swamp Ash supply to anyone else on the market right now&#8230;you will quickly see there is no comparison.\u00a0<\/p><p>We are working on many new and exciting alternative tonewoods and tonewood sources as well. We are currently looking into a steady source of Ash that might be a\u00a0<em>touch<\/em>\u00a0heavier or not-quite-master-grade that we can offer at a lower pricing tier, much like we used to offer &#8220;Hard Ash&#8221; for a little cheaper than &#8220;Swamp Ash.&#8221; More details on that as they become available.\u00a0<\/p><p>In the meantime, read about some exciting tonewood alternatives below!\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ae2032c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ae2032c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6367097\" data-id=\"6367097\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff8c546 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ff8c546\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"null\"><strong>Paulownia, Pine, Oh My!<\/strong><\/h1><h2 class=\"null\"><em><strong>Paulownia\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/h2><p>Paulownia (pronounced <span style=\"color: #800000;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #800000; text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #800000; text-decoration: underline;\" title=\"Help:Pronunciation respelling key\" href=\"https:\/\/howjsay.com\/how-to-pronounce-Paulownia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em title=\"English pronunciation respelling\">paw-LOH-nee-\u0259<\/em><\/a>)<\/span><\/span>,\u201d might seem like a &#8220;new tonewood&#8221; on the boutique guitar scene, but did you know that Guitar Mill was offering Paulownia as far back as 15 years ago?
