Hey Jeff, I hope you get to read this. I have enjoyed your passion on screen for many years and I love your sustainability collaboration with Breedlove. You're a cool dude. True Grit is a top 5 movie of all time and the Myrtlewood Concert is my favorite acoustic guitar. Thanks for listening
I have played a Martin for years, but I think I'm going to get one of these. I like the fact that they are trying to save the trees, and I always thought Jeff Bridges was a good guy and actor. Sounds good to me!!
If anybody is a genuine sponsor, it would be Jeff Bridges. I tested the Organic collection and it sounds really good. Crystal clear, and not too loud. No buzzy sound like most guitars. It sounds just the like background music in this video.
@@rtmca1 I don’t know I’ve always hated the idea of being made in China but I’ve also seen some real quality guitars come out of there. A saw will cut no matter where you use it.
Guitar Center has the Organic Collection for $679. Sounds really good. Their entry level guitar is like $400 but is nothing but entry level. The guitar front is hard wood, and the top rail is made of bone.
@@rtmca1 its all about quality control and who the brand is I literally started buying Harley Benton they come from same factorys as name brands for 1/3rd the price
Lovely guitars but if you use hard woods from the rainforest and Congo how can that be sustainable? The damage in these areas are beyond recovery therefore ANY wood farming can only be detrimental and contribute to more deforestation. The conservation program speech doesn't sit well with me. I work in the timber industry and the only sustainable type of wood is soft wood which can be farmed with crop rotation under a controlled environment. "Sustainable hardwood" is an oxymoron!
I was thinking the same damn thing! The concept is a great but the rainforest timber didn’t make sense to me. I thought I must be missing something 🤷🏻♂️
The website for Breedlove states that they only harvest fallen trees that are already dead and do not harvest living trees, and then have a replanting program to support the coastal forest.
@@tresji that's good news. It would have been good to mention that in the video just to clear any doubts. And I should have checked their website too! Thanks 👍
Really Ben If a tree is already dead and fallen and the wood can be harvested to make an amazing instrument and bring joy to the living then a person who spews your rhetoric needs a great deal of help and mental adjustments. Reputable instrument builders have finally come to realize that their goals for building superb instruments and using of exotic woods in an environmental responsible way is obtainable.
Not removing trees on a slope is sustainable. Within an area, can they just remove like 30% of the trees, and leave 70% there to give the animals a habitat?
If you're going to cut down a beautiful living thing like a tree, at the very least, use the wood to build a sweet timber frame home with beautiful figured lumber stair case.
Totally behind saving trees. I just get frustrated when well intentioned and committed environmentalists miss interpret science and actually harm the environment. "CO has positive effects on seed germination, root development, and stomatal closure. Also, CO can enhance plant abiotic stress resistance commonly through the enhancement of antioxidant defense system."
