Ash vs alder body tele

[Powdered Toast Man]

There's still light ash out there. I built a Warmoth Jazzmaster from a 3lb, 13oz Ash body last year. Fully assembled, it comes to a hair over 7 lbs . . . with a Floyd.

I never said there isn't any. Its just harder to source on a production line level scale. Which is why Fender is holding it back for their CS builds. The problem is only going to get worse as the emerald ash borer destroys more of the North American ash population.
