Why do we still use wood in guitars? - Podcast 78

Welcome to Crimson Guitars www.youtube.co... and welcome to the 78th episode of the Guitar Builder's Basics video Podcast from Ben at www.crimsonguit....
In this episode, Ben answers a viewer's question on tonewood.
The question was 'why do we still use wood in guitars when some modern materials can offer much better sustain and tonal transfer'.
Ben discusses 3D printing, plastic, perspex, and carbon fibre and compares these with the sound, feel, and desirability of the use of wood in luthiery.
