As I've related before, I was given a dreadnought guitar kit from LMI about 30 years. I had no idea how to assemble it so it sat in the back of my closet for decades until I started making ukuleles a couple of years ago. I use bits and pieces from the kit all the time and the wood is beautiful. Below is a picture of peghead veneer using the old East Indian rosewood which was probably cut about 35 years ago and rosewood I just bought recently for the fretboard which was probably cut 2 to 3 years ago. Notice any difference? I think one was probably wild cut and the newer stuff farm raised. Kinda like the difference between wild caught catfish and farm raised catfish: One tastes sweet and one tastes like mud.
