I have been known to poke into a few odd areas, and I can't help but notice some really lovely "celluloid" for sale from across the Pacific... like:

And it wouldn't surprise me to find that "differences" in environmental concerns are why American celluloid ain't what it used to be (I suspect it ain't AT ALL, really). And certain luthieriey joints tout their Italian celluloid, but add the Sopranos surcharge, for sure. Go ahead! Poke "celluloid" into "guitar builder stuff"

and see what I mean. Hmmm.
