ok, ok, wait a moment, I know I shouldn't ask to identify wood, but this is actually a washburn guitar body, Chicago Series with a quilted maple veneer, I need to know if this is basswood or Alder.





I think it's alder, Basswood is way more creamy looking and plain and boring and awfull and IwanttothrowawaythisthingifisjustcheapbasswoodlikeIbanez.

either way, I don't know if this comes from Korea or China, they told me the Korean Chicago series is actually good, I'll make a build thread when I start on this

It's not not alder. I'd give it a 75% chance of being alder.

Looks like alder to me. Definitely not basswood. Doesn't look like meranti, agathis, or other mystery wood.

Could be big leaf maple or alder. Or? The figure in the face cap looks like figure I have seen in big leaf, and the back is just much less figured.
