Identify Body Wood Type?

Re: Identify Body Wood Type?
Very hard to say.....every bit of wood......and every section within that bit is unique. The bit removed had might have had no/little tonal contribution, it could have been the bit that made the guitar a total dog, it could be a dog now precisely because of that removal. You'll never know unless you visit a parallel universe and find the same guitar without that rout.

I vote Mahogany/Maple (big leaf)
That back route looks like the one used by Warmoth, Davies, etc. I think everyone was copying everyone back then.
A Performance strat head is going to be very coolLast edited by Ayrton; 11-30-2017, 07:43 PM.-Chris

That's a very standard superstrat route in the back, like what's found on Warmoth bodies and Stew Mac sells a template kit about that size. Considering the base of the neck pocket is the only place that looks more hand-routed and has router bit burn marks, I could see this as having been a regular Warmoth body that someone recessed the neck pocket. Warmoth hot stamps their brand logo into the neck pockets and the necks. This could have been someone routing past that point to remove the stamp.
Anyway it looks like fairly standard Mahogany back, Maple top configuration.

Great, thanks for all the help. I'm excited to finish her up. Yeah, the performance neck has the thumb cutout...I can't wait! I don't have specs on the radius for buying the right nut, it's somewhere between 12-16"...maybe my local music store has some gauges, or I may just buy a set.
Don't know why I took this long to resume, but life gets a way from us...
