Мне очень понравилось вот это:
As far as the bodies are concerned, I know a lot of people talk about tone woods and all that stuff. But I really think the best way to get a good tone it to practice a lot. So I really don't get into that much. But looks nice, looks like a nice piece of wood.
И вот это. Насчет времени "отлеживания" дерева перед обработкой и насчет "не-труЪ" ускоренной сушки.
Aaron: Is there any minimum time, or just when you feel it's ready?
Carl: I guess I just have a feel for it. But like I said. Air-dried is a couple years per inch thickness, you know. I do that for sure. And kiln-dried, well if it's kiln-dried then it's pretty much dry when I get it. I don't worry about it. People I know buy wood from I always trust them. I know Gidwani is not going to sell me-and I know Constantine. I've been dealing with them forever. All those first necks, they all came from Constantine's. I used to buy big blocks of Maple up there. Four by fours and I'd cut them myself. And that was all kiln-dried wood.
