TMSOME MUSICAL
BREAKTHROUGHS
HAPPEN IN STUDIOS.
SOME IN GARAGES.
And some in forests.
AND SEE SOMETHING TOTALLY OUT OF PLACE: VILLAGERS PLANTING EBONY SAPLINGS.
ALL SUPPORTED BY A GUITAR MANUFACTURER FROM EL CAJON, CALIFORNIA.
DESPITE THE FACT THAT EBONY HAS BEEN USED IN GUITAR AND VIOLIN
FINGERBOARDS FOR CENTURIES, THE MUSIC INDUSTRY HAD DONE VERY
LITTLE TO REPLANT IT. SINCE WE HAVE NO DESIRE TO EVER MAKE
GUITARS WITHOUT EBONY, WE TEAMED UP WITH SOME OF THE
WORLD’S BEST RESEARCHERS AND FORESTERS TO STUDY HOW
TO REPLANT IT ON A LARGE SCALE. NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN HISTORY, WE’RE PLANTING, GROWING, AND HARVESTING
EBONY SUSTAINABLY. ONE LOOK INTO THAT FOREST IN
CAMEROON REVEALS SOMETHING ELSE SPROUTING:
HOPE. NOT JUST FOR EBONY, BUT FOR THE FUTURE OF
TONEWOODS WORLDWIDE. WATCH THE WHOLE STORY
