Any guitar builders on here? I noticed the
brown paper information, this has nothing
to do with that exactly but..
I was reading about Martin Guitars HPL
material they use on the lower priced guitars.
and thats exactly what it is Brown Paper!
I found it Amazing. Its Actually Formica.
I guess they layer it and glue it, press it under
high pressure, until its stiff like wood, then make the guitar bodies.
They sound ok.
I thought it was interesting, I like guitars.


Funny you should mention that .. I was just heard my wife in the next
room on her cell phone, and she is apparently waking out the door as I
type this, on the way to Guitar Center buy three of those Martins for
some of her students.
