I saw on musiciansfriend.com that they only sell the Deluxe 50th and American Series 50th in Sunburst. I have a white American Series 50th (it's got the neckplate) with a maple neck. Does my guitar have an ash body like the sunburst version or is it just a regular American Series with a 50th neckplate and an alder body?

how haevy is your guitar?

alder is lighter then ash.

It's roughly 8.2 lbs

All Strats made in 2004 got the neckplate. Yours is an American Series which would be made from alder.

Here's a link about the Special 50th Anniversary models:

All this time I thought it was ash, oh well. Thanks for the help.

I think all painted bodies are alder. I prefer alder anyway, so I even make sure that sunburst ones are alder, not ash.
