Red Alder – Classic Tonewood for Electric Guitar and Bass Bodies
When it comes to building electric guitar or bass bodies, red alder is without a doubt one of the most popular and time-tested tonewoods. As a point of interest, Fender was the first major manufacturer to use alder in the 1950s and 60s, introducing it on their early Stratocaster and Telecaster models.
Alder is typically a medium-weight wood, but the pieces selected for guitar making are professionally sorted to ensure they are lightweight, resonant, and easy to work with – lighter than many other hardwoods commonly used in instrument building.
In terms of sound, alder offers a well-balanced tonal profile across lows, mids, and highs. It delivers a full, clean, and articulate sound, with a distinct emphasis in the upper midrange, thanks to its dense grain structure. This makes it a consistently great choice for both single-coil and humbucker pickup configurations.
The grain pattern of alder is usually subtle and fine, but special cuts may feature light figuring or flame-like textures, giving a unique aesthetic appeal under transparent or natural finishes.
