Not sure where to post this, there is no Luthier / Build area?
I am wondering why I do not see Guitars [electric & acoustic] built with Cherry wood.
It has long been a beautiful furniture wood.
A hard wood very similar to maple that darkens with age.
Some may reply with "it's not a tone wood" but guitars are made with junk wood today and sound great.
Fender is even making Tele's from pine !
So whats the deal with cherry?
*I know, ask Bob Taylor right?
