Wood Used in Fender Guitars Facing Shortage
Starting in the 1950 s, Fender Musical Instruments embraced a type of wood known as Swamp Ash to use in the making of the iconic Stratocasters and Telecasters. Their time for having access to Swamp Ash is coming to an end, and it s not because of a better product.
Swamp Ash trees have thin-walled cells with large gaps between them, making for a low density wood that gives opportunity for vibration. It didn t hurt that the wood was easily found and cheap as well.
Musicians have taken a love to the sound Fender guitars get from the wood, such as Muddy Waters, Keith Richards and Chrissie Hynde.
