pretty sure when this story first came out I looked into it and it is pretty much just swamp ash they are stopping? I read they are doing things with northern ash to try and take some of the weight out of the bodies and will use that

found an article https://www.guitarworld.com/features/fe ... ed-instead (about half way down the page)
