Ash or alder ???

[luis]

Hi ,i would like to know about this tele .

Is it made from alder or ash ?

Hi Luis,

I guess you didn't get my reply to your email about this.

Here is what I replied:


Hi Luis,

The body wood is likely Alder (the natural wood binding is the body wood). It would be the standard body wood used with that finish. The neck is Maple and the fretboard is Rosewood. That's a beautiful ASAT Classic Custom!

Hope this helps.

If that is natural binding Craig, it is a lot dark to be alder. Unless they stained it for contrast

Yes, it does look to be tinted, similar to the Trinity (but which has a Maple body). If I recall correctly, they started tinting some
wood binding depending upon the body finish. It might also be a user choice option, but not sure of that.
