I was just checking out the new stuff Scott put on his website. I'm a fan of alder but I don't think I have ever seen an alder guitar with a natural finish. I always pictured it to looks fairly light in color like maple but it looks like mahogany. The top is not too shabby either.

The back looks like mahogany to me & the top looks to be flamed maple.KV DM PRO, SLSXMG, RRXMG, DXMG, LP P90 Goldtop_GSP1101_RM4: JF SL-OD100_Randall RT2/50_Peavey 4x12 cab

Re: Alder looks pretty good....
it could be alder. it will turn that color when oiled.
this body is alder; look at the center; it's just oiled and a similar color.

Re: Alder looks pretty good....
For the very first pic of this thread, alder can indeed look like that. I have an alder bodied guitar that is almost that exact shade of color inside the trem cavity (top has been stained padouk) ... A surprisingly warm color, but a very nice one.

Alder is just another inexpensive white wood, somewhere in color between pine and white oak. It's not particularly attractive. It is very plain.The 2nd Amendment: America's Original Homeland Defense.

Re: Alder looks pretty good....
does alder have any figuring on a solid body like a strat? (once again, lol) the flamed strat i have has transparent flames, showing the grain of the wood. Theres a litlurinnd under the paint in the trem cavity, i can see a very white wood. could be ash? (sorry if i hocked the thread! there isnt any info on my strat at all)
