Alder has been a favorite wood for solidbodies since the 1950s. Its subdued grain is suitable for sunbursts and opaque colors. This is a joined 3 piece blank.

Swamp ash has bold grain that's appropriate for clear or tinted finishes. It's lighter in weight than Northern "baseball bat" ash, for good tone. Ash is open-grained, and filler should be used to level the pores before applying a finish. This is a joined 2-3 piece blank.

African Mahogany blanks can be shipped outside the USA, and are becoming a popular alternative to restricted traditional Honduras mahogany. The wood is beautiful when finished in clear or tinted lacquer. Mahogany is open-grained, and filler should be used to level the pores before applying a finish. This is a solid, 1-piece blank.
