What does&amp;nbsp;FSC-certified actually mean? On today's Acoustic Voices Podcast, we&amp;nbsp;learn both and a lot&amp;nbsp;more from Nicholas Weber, the founder of Guitar Tonewoods.&amp;nbsp; Weber has spent decades working with forest managers and guitar companies, sourcing far-flung woods that will eventually show up on instruments. Today Guitar Tonewoods specializes in FSC-certified-only woods (including mahogany, ebony, cedar and rosewoods), all harvested selectively from sustainable forests.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; From GT's headquarters in Spain, Weber walks us through what these tropical forests are like today, how they are managed, and how technology plays a vital role in making sure they will be around for the next generations. It's a fascinating chat for anyone who wonders about the materials that go into their&amp;nbsp;guitars.&amp;nbsp; Acoustic Voices: A Guitar Podcast is an all-new collaboration between Breedlove Guitars and the Fretboard Journal magazine. We hope you enjoy it. Our music is by Luke Basile. https:\/\/breedlovemusic.com\/ https:\/\/www.fretboardjournal.com\/  Love the show?
