I've seen a few pictures of NS body's made of alder wood and dyed copper. I love how it looks but on the SE website it's no longer an option. What happened??? Were they not getting enough orders for it so they just got rid of it???? Can you special order it????

give them a call.

Alder isn't one of the woods offered anymore. If you're interested in a particular dye color, though, you should definitely call them.

Some of the woods, like cherry, don't have a very pronounced grain. The ash definitely does.

Thanks Guys, I think when my birthday comes around in January I will start the process. The only thing more painful than waiting to get a stick, is never getting a stick.
