Every guitar I’ve made from Alder sounds great! I guess that is what Leo and Freddy found when they went to the wood store, and then they found hard Maple for the necks. We haven’t strayed very far. That combination seems to have become ingrained in our ears. I’m sure they noticed that Alder paints well, easy to tool, very lightweight, and plentiful, not rare or endangered. And hard Maple is plentiful, very stable, paints well. With two big Seymour Duncan humbuckers and high-performance Grover gears it is still only 5.1 pounds. As you might have noticed, I cut some of the weight out.
