Shannon Soloist wood

[divebomb]

Can anyone confirm for me what kind of body and neck wood the Shannon Soloist (from around 1998, a resissue I believe) is made of?

Thanks for your time.

Poplar body and Maple neck?
That would be my guess.

Basswood??
I have never heard of Basswood being used for U.S. Jackson before...

I know, I am confused also. Definitely says it on the spec sheet I have.

The early research I've done shows Poplar, but I haven't found anything definite.

I strongly doubt it's basswood as well...

I've always been told that it's maple neck with poplar body wings. Scooter, could you please scan that spec sheet and post it here?
