Now, for something completely different! Let's talk about the effects of roasting tonewoods. When you subject a piece of wood to lots of heat, it saps the wood of moisture, and drier wood has lots of alluring qualities for guitarists! For one, less water equals less weight, so these roasted rockers are easy on the back and the eyes. Also, roasted wood is more stable.
The coolest part of using roasted tonewoods, though, is the way they impart a bit of vintage-style resonance to the guitar's overall timbre. When a guitar lives a long life, its wood dries out, and drier wood gives you a warmer, more focused, clearer tonality that we Guitar Scribes often term "woody" for lack of a better term. So, while these Roasted Wildwood 10s may not sound exactly like a sixties Fender, they do have a fair amount of vintage mojo thanks to their wood chemistry!
