What Are the Benefits of Torrefied Tops?

Matt is back! The #Askmatt segment is back in full force and this week our bearded guitar brother Matt Chulka is back discussing a hot topic among acoustic guitar geeks…

 Torrefaction is the act of “roasting” tonewood at low temperatures to impart a more woody/earthy tonal profile… So is a torrefied top better than one that hasn’t been torrefied? This week Matt gets asked that very question so be sure watch the segment and see what his thoughts are on this hot-button issue.

  • #AskMatt: Does body style also impact tone as a guitar ages, and how do the different wood combos affect tone as they age?

Does a guitar ever reach an “aged” point where the tone has developed as far as possible?
