    Great news - I knew discussions were in place but you never know with such organisations - Great news and hope it returns to as was ASAP - I assume Brazilian rosewood issues will still apply

    Which is what they should have done in the first place.. Its mad no one even thought about musical instruments when they brought these latest laws in..  I hope they go through with this, maybe for once common sense will actually prevail  :)

    Now we just need the pound to recover so importing from the states becomes an option again

    In terms of making guitars, will this mean… er what will this mean? I suppose more small makers will be able to export their wares, but do they?

    Will UK suppliers be able to sell rosewoods any easier or cheaper? I’m not sure what this will mean to guys who make small numbers of hand-made guitars here in the UK.

    Pity, I was thoroughly enjoying the hypocritical handwringing.

    We will still be able to get rosewood
