TMTHERE ARE GUITARS
MADE WITH EBON Y
and guitars made with ebony’s
best interest.
MUSICIANS WILL TELL YOU THAT GUITARS MADE FROM WOOD SOUND BETTER AND FEEL
BETTER. BUT FEW GUITAR PLAYERS COULD TELL YOU WHERE THAT WOOD COMES
FROM — OR WHO HARVESTED IT. WHEN IT CAME TO EBONY, TAYLOR COULDN’T DO
MUCH BETTER, EVEN THOUGH WE HAD ALWAYS USED IT FOR OUR FINGERBOARDS.
THEN IN 2011 WE BOUGHT AN EBONY MILL IN CAMEROON. WANTING TO
PROTECT THIS PRECIOUS TONEWOOD FOR THE FUTURE, WE QUICKLY
FOUND OUR 65 MILLWORKERS DESERVED THE SAME CONSIDERATION.
ALONG WITH INTRODUCING PAY INCREASES AND BENEFITS,
WE ALSO IMPROVED WORKING CONDITIONS AND WORKPLACE
SAFETY — CHANGES THAT CONTINUE TO TRANSFORM LIVES
AND NURTURE AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY. TO US, IT’S PROOF
THAT THE BEST INTEREST OF EBONY MIGHT JUST BE THE
BEST INTEREST OF EVERYONE: AFRICAN MILLWORKERS
AND MUSIC LOVERS ALIKE. WATCH THE FULL STORY
