Alder is medium to light in weight with soft tight pores. It has a light tan color and can sometimes exhibit large swirling grain patterns and rings. Alder is favored by blues and rock players for its strong, clear, full-bodied sound, with beefy mids and excellent lows. Alder is used extensively for guitar bodies because of its light weight and its full sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaple\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nSourced mostly from the Northern United States and Canada and is commonly used to make necks.
