  • PS4 Professional- what is the body wood?

    Hello!

    I'm doing an full setup and electronics overhaul on my friend's PS4 Professional - what is the body wood? If this helps, it's dark red transparent with a veneer flame top. Any help much appreciated!

    Thanks much!

    PS4 Professional doesn't sound right to me - the PS models were Performers, I thought.

    Anyhoo, body wood under the veneer (actually a photo) should be either basswood or alder or poplar.

    Drill a 1/2" hole into the body. If the shavings come out greenish, it's poplar. If not, it's either alder or basswood.









    just kidding about the drilling

                  LOL The old "shotgun" Soloist! He bought that off ebay for cheap. I guess the original owner was going for the old B.C. Rich electronics look. :ROTF:
