Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted May 17, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 17, 2010 Maple body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundcreation Posted May 17, 2010 Members Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edit^^^ didn't think about maple! It does look like it could be) Nice Zenbu. What year is it? Is that SEN ash? I always notice a lot of those old aria's grecos, fenders etc..have that sen ash with the very tight grain. That looks like it could be either.

I've seen a few maple bodied Tele's from older Japanese brands, but not on a Fender. Theres a lot of similarity between the heel of that neck and the neck pocket is what makes me think it maybe a maple body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zenbu Posted May 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 I think it`s sen because it has characteristics of other MIJs I have made from the wood...white-ish/silvery streaks in the grain...though figured sen is not common, at least I don`t see it much. I know they used a lot of sen, in fact it was popular with other Japanese builders too. I like it, it can be very beautiful...I have an early `80s Greco strat that has a 1 piece sen body, gorgeous.

And is the tone pretty much like swamp ash, or is it unique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Ratae Corieltauvorum Posted May 18, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 18, 2010 And is the tone pretty much like swamp ash, or is it unique? It's very much in the ash camp, reckon Japanese Strats n Teles have got such a good name because of Sen, a lot of the 70s Japanese brands like Heerby, Morris, Yamaki etc all used Sen, and to very good effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members clay sails Posted May 18, 2010 Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 got it yesterday but the site has been acting up so I hope these pics will stick before we go down again... That guitar wins and wins and wins.What year is it? How much was it, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zenbu Posted May 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 not sure of the year...I guess the `80s decade but I could be wrong...no pencil date...might be early `90s. Has an E9 serial. Played it a bit last night...the bridge pup really twangs, clear and sparkly...neck p`up is very smooth and creamy...tone pot has a very gradual decrease...nice `cause in the middle position it can really help define either of the p`ups by rolling one or the other up in volume...not sure if that makes sense, not really adept at describing what my guitars sound like...they`re either sound good or bad, or maybe it`s just the way I play on any given day.
