Hi. I am wondering what kind of wood is this on my 1979 P bass. I not sure if this the ash or other as the pattern is quite strong. Could it be a kind of pine !
Please advise. Thanks. |

There are 2 in Mississippi and 1 in Louisiana, very old mills. My family has been buying many different types of wood from them for many years. As a matter of fact, my father built the cabinets in one of their personal homes in the early nineties and I built the cabinets, moldings, etc. in one of their other homes around 2004. That home was the same home that Tim Mcgraw and Faith Hill were married; in Rayville, Louisiana. The company owner told me quite a long story of their connection with Fender in the past.
