Swamp Ash (Fraxinus americana)
One of the most popular electric guitar body woods, Ash has a bold grain that's perfect for clear or tinted finishes. The dynamic tone has been loved since the 1950s.
Tonally, Swamp Ash is highly resonant with very balanced note separation. Highs are clear but not harsh, midrange is strong and focused, and the low end is clear and doesn't get muddy or too dark. Commonly used to create instruments with a Maple neck, the versatility of Ash makes it easy to pair with any neck wood.
The strong grainlines can be highlighted when filling and finishing for a dynamic and bold effect. Ash is open-grained, and filler should be used to level the pores before applying a finish. A joy to work with, it cuts and sands with ease, and glues well.
Each body blank is two-piece, joined and thickness sanded, ready for bandsawing and routing in your shop.
