If you can expand this knowledge and export it to South America and other rain forest areas, maybe through education and practice, the forests can be saved by the same people that have to clear cut those forests, just to survive. It is truly noble work.
I have a 214ce but just recently bought a damaged demo Takamine 12 string. I learned how to fix it and did and I'm proud of that but this video has me wishing I'd saved longer and bought a Taylor. This effort is uplifting an entire country and it's people. A model for everyone.
Very inspiring work. Kudos to Bob Taylor and everyone involved in this multi-lifetime project he has spearheaded. I feel even happier to have bought 2 Taylor guitars in 2021 (one koa, and one urban ash), and I now intend to buy one with striped ebony back and sides to support this effort.
Well done Taylor. Let’s hope all the other manufacturers join your cause or take your lead.

Great little movie, insightful and beautifully made
A text book example. Great stuff.
Massive respect to Taylor,i really love ebony as a fretboard.
Takeaway from the video: striped ebony is free or super cheap if you’re physically located in the Congo
Yes,Sir...
So you are the savior of the ebony tree species by using their lumber in your guitars that you sell at guitar center ?
Greed is killing the planet. Taylor is not so great
Did you even watch the video?
