Many guitarists and guitar geeks have been talking about the torrefied fretboard wood that's been used for several years now. I've heard complaints it ain't quality, or it ain't fair. And I've heard reasonable explanations that it's fine quality and a progressive ecological move.
But I, for one, haven't really understood the technology or measurable benefits of torrefaction. And I'm the kinda (Deke) geek that wants to know all the details. So, for others who must know, below is a link that explains more technically what's goin on:

Not sure if Anderton's Music is scientifically objective, but their analysis is well-written and seems balanced:

And the many guitarists who happen to be credentialed scientists
will want to google "Torrefaction" where you'll find the companies that perform this process provide specs that may put even your extra-perky intellect to sleep:http://raw-torrefact...y.blogspot.com/
