Alder – Classic Tonewood for Electric Guitar and Bass Bodies
When it comes to building electric guitar or bass bodies, alder is undeniably one of the most popular and widely used tonewoods. As an interesting historical note, Fender began using alder in the 1950s and 1960s for its first Stratocaster and Telecaster models.
Alder is typically a medium-weight wood, although the pieces selected for guitar bodies are carefully chosen to be lighter than average – making them comfortable for players while retaining great tonal properties.
In terms of sound, alder delivers a well-balanced tone across low, mid, and high frequencies. It provides a clear, full sound with strong upper-midrange presence, thanks to its tight grain structure. That makes it a reliable and versatile choice for a wide variety of music styles and pickups.
The grain of alder is usually subtle and smooth, but some special cuts may feature light figuring or flame patterns, which enhance its visual appeal under transparent finishes.
Whether you're building a Strat, Tele, or modern custom body, alder remains a classic tonewood trusted by luthiers and guitar makers around the world.
