Tui t'obstine à parler de Lignum vitae depuis le début.Les fabricants des pontets parlent eux de verawood, argentine lignum vitae qui est un Bulnesia et non pas Gaïacum (comme le Lignum vitae, gaïac).
Et le lien wiki que tu indique ne dit d'ailleurs pas le contraire.
Et encore une fois le verawood n'est pas inscrit à l'annexe II de la CITES.
ok donc le fabricant raconte des histoires vu que sur TGP, il mentionne que c'est la deuxième essence la plus dure du monde...
Citation:
Pai, "Vera" is a wood, also known as Argentine Lignum Vitae. In fact my wood guy told me it's the second densest wood in the world. It's also self lubricating. I understand it's even used for bearings on submarine propellers! It's got kind of a tan hue when you start to work it, then it photo degrades to this greenish hue. What's cool about it on an old Tele bridge is that it kinda looks like tarnished brass.
Going with the Stainless Steel was a very conscious decision for me. Because of the break angle and pressure introduced at the saddle any other fret material would notch rather quickly, in my opinion. Plus I wanted the "brightness" tonally of the Stainless Steel since I knew it was going to be filtered, again tonally, by the Vera or Ebony saddles. So instead of muting the tone with the wood, it's ativated by the SS and then filtered by the wood.
It's all about the recipe!
Vu que le deuxième plus dure c'est bel est bien le Lignum vitae, alors il utilise cet argument pour mettre en avant un proche cousin en utilisant le prétexte que son fournisseur de bois lui aurait dit...
