Members wanderoo222 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 Pick of the back. Can't tell from the grain if it's alder of ash. No way musiciansfriend could be mistaken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elias Graves Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 Only down side to basswood is that it's not very hard. The Koa top ought to protect it though. Sure is pretty. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elias Graves Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 The nuclear blast proof finish should help, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 6down1togo Posted January 24, 2013 Members Share Posted January 24, 2013 Very nice. That was well-bought. One thing i like about that model is the neck pickup output better matches the bridge and doesn't sound so muddy by itself. I have the pair, the tele and the strat and like them both. In theory, the basswood should dent pretty easily but the poly finish is like "body armor" over the wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
