Why White Ash for Electric Guitar Bodies?

Bright, punchy tone – Powerful lows, clear mids, and sparkling highs – cuts through any mix
Legendary pedigree – The classic Fender Telecaster and Precision Bass tonewood since the 1950s
Striking cathedral grain – Bold open grain with prominent growth rings – stunning under transparent finishes
Excellent sustain – Dense grain structure delivers long, singing sustain
Great workability – Routes, shapes, and sands cleanly – takes finishes beautifully
Stable and ready – Kiln-dried to 6-8% MC – no waiting, no post-build movement

Perfect For

Ideal for electric guitar bodies, Telecaster, Stratocaster, bass guitars, and vintage-style builds. The bold cathedral grain makes it especially stunning under transparent finishes like butterscotch blonde, natural, and sunburst – just like the original 1950s Telecasters.

Pro tip: White Ash has open pores – use grain filler before applying finishes for a smooth surface. It takes butterscotch blonde, natural, and transparent finishes beautifully – avoid opaque paints that hide the stunning cathedral grain.
