What Guild did Suzanne Vega use the first years?

Hans and Sitka: I hope you guys are going to be okay when this thread is done!!

Could it be such that maple today is a rather cheap tonewood, at the same time it shares some of the tonal properties with maple. That's why we find the more expensive tonewoods in the up class F-47.

Sorry, I can't follow that logic!

Hi Hans, I stumbled too; he may have intended 'maple' to be 'mahogany' or even 'rosewood'.... maybe. cj

"Cheap tonewood"...maybe that should go on the oxymoron thread in the funny papers forum!! :lol:

Cheap might have been an exageration, but in proportion that could be one answer to why they choose to do so. I know of other areas that has occured. Anyway, I don't run Guild so I could not answer to why that was done, or why the story isn't told the way it should be.

I'm still not quite clear about what happened to the Valencia. Did they discontinue the model entirely or did it stay spruce over maple?
