It would help if you could post a photo of the bare wood in the neck pocket, the control plate cavity, or the trem spring cavity.GuitarPicker67 wrote:What wood is a 1989 SC3 body made of?
The majority of SC-3 bodies were soft Maple, but I have seen some with Swamp Ash and Poplar.
See this post: G&L Maple bodied guitars?.
Looking forward to seeing photos of your SC-3.

Will need photos of the bare wood to make sure, as the reference post says "Most of the SC & SB basses sport maple bodies...".GuitarPicker67 wrote:Thanks for the answer and link.According to the link it was maple.Leo Fender used maple until 1991.
Poplar and Swamp Ash were also used, search the G&L Registry and you will see some of each for the SC-3.
