Subject: RE: Martin guitars with synthetic bodies?
Sorry, can't recall the model #. I'll go down to Barrie some time later in the week and check on it. There's one with a mahogany look, one with a rosewood look, and another type too...all with a solid spruce top. I understand they use leftover wood scrap from their regular guitars, grind it into a powder, and then mix it with an epoxy resin or something like that to make the neck, back, and sides. It has to be the strongest neck around (there is a truss rod inside).
