Does Alembic offer alder for the body wood?

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

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.
