hampsterharry: #gibson_les_paul_smartwood_studio I love these, I've played a few but am trying to locate a Banara smartwood, (I beleive they use Banaris Vanderbiliti, not what I've specified below,geographically disparate but similar species). At the same time, I've read that inadvertantly there were introduced some errors in counting the population of Banara wood available, and that's what lead to Gibson producing these particular instruments in such small qauntities. I've read some journals, they were available in much lower numbers, as few as six felled trees by one account, than any of the others. I guess that would make a Banara Smartwood Gibson among the rarest of all Les Paul guitars made.

The biomass of Banara guianensis and Lacistema pubescens at 15 months was calculated on the basis of species-specific regressions from shoot height/woodThe biomass of Banara guianensis and Lacistema pubescens at 15 months was calculated on the basis of species-specific regressions from shoot height/wood
