Subject: RE: Has it got to be wood or plastic
How about Graphite?

nd of course Ovation with spruce tops but a bowlback made out of a composite synthetic much like is used in helicopter blades(for good reason)

Never suggest that any non-wooden guitar can sound decent as1001 opinionated pickers will pitch a bitch. Ya' know there's an old saying about boats........"If God had wanted fiberglass boats, he'd have planted fiberglass trees." Stupid of course as is the idea that only aged Brazilian Rosewood and Engleman Spruce can make a good guitar. Or that only Martin can make a guitar. Or any of a hundred other bullshit things.


It is true that better guitars have better materials and as of yet no Plastic Fantastic" has come down the road.....but it could.
