What type of wood is this?

I'm looking for a body for a fretless neck I have and saw this. Curious of the wood used. The rings and grain seem too uniform to be ash. Anyone have an idea?

That could be alder or ash.

Doesn't look as 'grainy' as ash.

Alder.

Alder or poplar is my guess.

Another vote for alder.

Alder.
Could be basswood or agathis, too, but probably not poplar. And definitely not ash!

Definitely Alder!

A fine-looking alder body, from what I see.
