Most people knows that one of the most important factors in the sound of a good guitar is the wood selection for it but very few know that is even more important the drying process of the actual wood.

Most companies that build guitars for the masses use artificial methods like special ovens to accelerate the process. Of course, the quality of that wood is not nearly as good as the one dried for years naturally.

The south of Spain and particularly the mediterranean coast has the perfect balance of humidity and dryness for that purpose and most spanish manufactures have a large stock of properly dried wood in their factories.
