He's full of shit. I personally have more than 500lbs of aged Madagascar ebony - perfect for the best finger board (acoustic or electric guitar) you could ever want. And it is abundant throughout.

Nice marketing ploy from a rambling confused idiot and company that might as well make their ridiculously over priced guitars out of balsa wood - no tone, no oomph, no projection, same with Martin.
Such a rambling confused idiot that he is now the owner of the company who is now exporting worldwide the only available legal ebony to the world (west african ebony) and if you would actually inform yourself a little bit more you would also notice that most luthier suppliers are stopping selling Madagascar Ebony, LMII is one of them, once their stock is gone, they stop...
Taking that opportunity to criticize and bashing down Taylor guitars for no reason in your post is a little

and completely out of topic...
We are in 2012, be happy that somebody like Bob Taylor is taking the right decisions, this takes balls and without people like him, nobody would be there to ''try'' and stop human stupidity, someone had to take action at the source if we are to have this resource for the future and for this Bob Taylor desirves big respect....
Elephant Ivory is abundant throughout, lets keep killing elepants as much as we can untill they all die shall we?
