Nick: my issue with 'swamp ash' and Fender's 'lite ash' is that it isn't really a kind of wood. Lite ash could be either White Ash (fraxinus americana) of Black Ash (fraxinus nigra). Then you have Swamp Ash, which can be Black Ash or Carolina Ash (Melioides Caroliniana, which ironically appears mostly in Florida swamps). Very odd, since Carolina Ash is of a different subspecies, but sold as Swamp ash just the same.

Just find it annoying that you simply don't know what you get with a 'swamp ash' guitar. Could be Wite ash (so basically the same as Lite Ash), Black ash (which has virtually identical weight&elasticity as White Ash, no idea why people consider black ash to be superior) and the somewhat different Carolina Ash.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-new-machine/#post-82691 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-new-machine/#post-82670 Sun, 02 Jan 2005 19:23:54 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion DayZd https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-new-machine/#post-82670 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-new-machine/#post-82669 Sun, 02 Jan 2005 19:19:24 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-new-machine/#post-82669 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-new-machine/#post-82668 Sun, 02 Jan 2005 19:08:29 +0000
