How can I tell the difference between alder and ash. I currently have 2 guitars with a see through finish. 1 definatley has an ash body and features a lovely grain, the other I'm not sure about. The grain isn't as pronounced, and the acoustic sounds ofeach are different. 1 is a Gamp;L (ash body) and the other is a US Strat plus. I thought it might be alder, but am really not sure. Help me please!!

pics?

I thought Fender used ash for the clear finish on those models

Bump

top one is definitely ash, the bottom one is so dark I can´t make anything out....

The top one is defintitely ash. The amber one looks like it's probably ash.

I'm pretty certain the bottom 1 (Gamp;L) is ash. Wasn't as sure about the top 1 (Fender). Cheers guys.

The second pic is so dark it's hard to tell anything about the grain... wanna take another pic?
