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.

Have fun repairing it if it chips or cracks. For $720, I
want wood, not formica. Nothing against formica, per se,
but $100 would be closer to a realistic price.
