NGD Heavy Ash Tele

[muttznmongrelz]

Couldn’t resist the quality and low price on this Center Joined Two Piece Heavy Ash Tele with One Piece Flame Maple Neck, top quality hardware all around and it sounds like a classic Tele should. Plays real nice as well.

I love ash! Nice!

Sorry for being Off Topic: (nice guitar BTW!)

What does "NGD" mean? "New guitar deal" ?

Day...i think?

Hence all the NAD, NBD, NPD, NPeD, NPiD, etc.

Btw, is that ash for sure? Kinda looks like tinted pine? Which is a tele thing, too...

Nice neck though. Them flames!

Beautiful! I have a heavy ash Strat from 1982. Weighs about 9lbs, but it is an amazing guitar. The finish is opaque, though, so it isn't as pretty as yours.

Thanks all. NGD = New Guitar Day.. Most definitely Ash.

yeah, thats ash. pine is super soft, i know there were test teles made at fender way back when, but dunno if id want something that soft

That's a hot piece of ash.

That's a hot piece of ash.

LOL I thought so as well. :18:

Andertons said that pine is the new ash

For the latest line of professional Teles and strats

If I remember correctly; did Fender recently announce that they were discontinuing or severely limiting the use of Ash in their guitar bodies going forward?

Fresh coat of lemon oil brought out the grain of the body quite nicely. (New Pics in Original Post)

That's what I heard
solid colors are alder
transparent finishes are pine

Yes. This is the case. No more new Ash bodies. The new fender line is pine.

I think the Master Built ones are still using ash. But not the normal lines. I think they went to pine because it has some sort of history with Fender, not because it is a fabulous wood for guitars.

 

[GuitarStv]

Yes. This is the case. No more new Ash bodies. The new fender line is pine.

Dark days if you're an ash man.

 

[muttznmongrelz]

True dat.

The GOOD news is that there are literally THOUSANDS of ash guitars in the used market.
