Interesting to note that the RK-35 has a Padauk fretboard & not Rosewood !
I wonder why ? https://reverb.com/nz/news/new-cites-regulations-for-all-rosewood-species
No Cites restrictions !
Extracts from the link :-
"For example, a seller in Nashville looking to ship her 2013 Martin 000-28 with East Indian rosewood back and sides to a buyer in Canada must apply for a re-export certificate, pay the application fee, receive the certificate, and include that document with the guitar when shipping".
"The reason for the billion-dollar demand for rosewood - and the subsequent trafficking - has less to do with musical instruments and much more to do with furniture".
https://reverb.com/news/the-relatively-painless-way-to-deal-with-cites ? US Requirements.
"Because of the confusion around CITES permits, many sellers have simply thrown up their hands and stopped selling internationally".
What do you do with Rosewood tipped bridges ?
How long before Padauk gets on the Cites list ?
