Re: Look familiar to anyone?
Lets not forget poplar is also in the pine family. Nato is reffered to as an Asian mohagony although looks and sounds nothing like american or honduran mohagony. Agathis is a plentiful and cheap would used in production of guitars made in Asia. (not the band Asia). Squiers were/are agathis although now the Fender Frontline says they are Alder. hmm makes ya wonder don't it. Obviously not north american alder as that would be to expensive to export out to China or Indonesia where the squiers are made. So its probably a asain alder or maybe the ever fantabulous tonewood of Agathis.
