"Recently, Martin and others, including Taylor, Gibson, Fender and Yamaha, joined Greenpeace’s MusicWood Coalition to encourage loggers like Sealaska Timber Corp. (which owns some of Alaska’s remaining old-growth Sitka spruce forests) to harvest them responsibly and seek eco-certification through the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
Guitar makers also have put some money where their emerging green values are. Gibson, for instance, was first with its eco-certified SmartWood Les Paul electric guitars. Martin has collaborated with Sting on certified wood signature models. It also produces guitars made of high-pressure wood laminate, a Sustainable Wood series using eco-sourced alternative woods, and last year launched 100 percent FSC-certified traditional-wood models, including the D Mahogany 09."
