Scarce

adjective

1. insufficient to satisfy the need or demand

“Brazilian Rosewood is considered to be the “Cadillac” of guitar building woods. This species is found in scattered occurrences in the eastern forests of the Brazilian state of Bahia, southward to Espirito Santo and Rio de Janeiro, and inland to Minas Gerais. Because of a very long history of harvesting, the species has become scarce in the more accessible regions, and conservation efforts are now underway to preserve remaining stands.”

Why the word of the day lesson and the quote from Larrivee’s website you ask? Well to help set the context of what is to follow of course.

Larrivee it seems has totally built out of their stash of Brazilian Rosewood and we here at Guitar Adoptions are lucky to have one of the last builds ever.
