We have done alder bodies in the past. So, yes, we can do it, though it is not something we normally offer. Valentino |

Thanks Valentino. Is there an extra cost associated with it? |

I always though that alder was considered best for bolt-on guitars. |

Alder is just not a very pretty wood for use with natural finishes. Just kind of blah. It sounds fine, it just isn't very pretty. |
