minho422 I found a stripped 65' mustang body for $99, but I thought mustangs were never alderI'm pretty sure that it's fake, based on the cheap priceis it?
jacksonjackass naa, I think some were. Never mind if its fake, as long as the measurements are rightThey were made from alder, polar, basswood and erm......mahogany but I'm not sure about that last one.

Robbmonster Looks like poplar.Email the seller and ask WHY they have sanded down a vintage guitar body.The route's don't look right to me, not quite angled enough.Proceed with caution. I would be staying away.

Proceed with caution. I would be staying away.I sent an email days ago, but he's not responding. I'll just look for another body. thanks
minho422 I found another cheap 66' vintage bodyIt says poplar, but it looks like mahogany to meshould I get this?http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Vintage-1960s-USA-Fender-Mustang-Guitar-BODY-1966-Good_W0QQitemZ360151473418QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item360151473418&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A1%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50
minho422 mcconnachiea said: Nope. Forget vintage dude, that looks like #### And where's the date stamp?stamp? I didn't even know that mustang bodies had stamps...Harrison// yeah the relic color looks great. but is that mahogany or poplar? it says poplar, but the wood looks mahogany... anyway, I think I'll buy that one
jacksonjackass A stamp in the neck pocket.There should be a date.But srsly just get a new one and get someone else to paint it
harrison mcconnachiea said: Nope. Forget vintage dude, that looks like #### And where's the date stamp?i'm guessing it is alder, most solid color mustangs were made with it. if it was a sunburst then maybe it'd be ash. but aside from a few cases i've never known mustangs to be widely made of mahogany
enjoysleeping that first one says its poplar, not alder... and i dont know what about it looks fake, the routes look fine and the shielding looks dead on
