A little taxing on the eyes, apologies. More importantly, Fender sent out a message to dealers recently notifying them of the discontinuation of ash as tone woods for their instruments. Reasons: 1) Insect infestation 2) Climate change (flooding). Will you be scampering to grab hold of an ash-bodied Fender instrument in anticipation of this situation?
On a personal note, I have ash-bodied Fender instruments here as well as basswood, mahogany & alder. In terms of tonal advantage, very little separates them but in terms of weight & sustain considerations, there might be a case in point.
