This just came across the BSN News Flash
The Canadian Federal and Provincial Ministries of the Environment have both requested the
RCMP to look into allegations that certain loggers and suppliers of spruce trees from the Terrace regions of British Columbia have been spiking the trees with Viagra before logging to increase the woods stiffness for the building of stringed musical instruments.
The implications that "drugged" and genetically manipulated hybrid trees are being used in the production of guitars and violins has shaken the stringed musical instrument market to the core.
"No wonder the Keith Richards and Jimmy Hendricks were so good," says luthier Iusa Jigs, "they were in harmony with the wood in their guitars"
American Lobbyists are eagerly awaiting the RCMP findings but rumblings of unfair trade
practices have already been heard in Washington claiming the importing of "genetically altered hybrid, drugged up trees" from British Columbia have been hurting the Adirondack Spruce tone wood market of eastern USA and must be stopped all costs"
It has been claimed that spruce tone wood from this area is the stiffest in the world.
As of yet guitar Manufactures like Martin, Gibson and Fender have failed to return our calls.
