Alder Guitar Body Blank – Punchy Mids, Balanced, and Resonant Tonewood for Custom Guitars

This kiln-dried Alder guitar body blank delivers the legendary balanced tone that made the Fender Stratocaster an icon – smooth highs, punchy mids, and tight, focused lows. The straight, closed grain structure provides consistent resonance and excellent sustain, while the light cream to light brown color provides the perfect canvas for both solid and transparent finishes. Alder is the undisputed workhorse of electric guitar tonewoods, offering the perfect blend of clarity, warmth, and lightweight comfort.

Perfect For

Ideal for electric guitar bodies, Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jazzmaster, Jaguar, and custom builds. Alder is the go-to choice for players who want a guitar that sounds great plugged into anything.

Pro tip: Alder's closed grain means no grain filler needed – just sand to 220 grit and apply your favorite finish. It takes both nitrocellulose lacquer and polyurethane beautifully. The light color works great for both vintage sunburst and bold solid colors like Fender's classic Daphne Blue or Candy Apple Red.
